Well with 294 cams you're going to NEED some sort of engine management, as well as aftermarket springs, retainers, and hell you might as well replace the valves while you're in there.

no no no.
294 is not the duration of the cams.
its just a part #.
cameron, your best bet at this point is to do this:
drive your car, enjoy it. and save your money.
advance your timing a few degrees ( i know you PM'd me about that, ill be PMing you here shortly so that we can hook up and i can help you out with that)
and thats about it for now.
meanwhile, spend money on the rest of the car. any suspension work that needs to be done, ect. that stuff can all be done in stages, is reletively cheap ( much cheaper than swapping or turboing.) and make a huge diffrence on the way the car handles ect.
once you save 3-5k, decide if you want a better platform than a celica, and if not, swap it to a 3rd, or 4th gen 3sgte, and do the manual swap at the same time.
between you, myself, dustin, and the girls, we could do the whole swap in weekend...wouldnt be the first swap we've done in a weekend..LMAO!!
