After finishing my beams swap I decided it would be a waste to junk what could be a good engine, so I've decided to rebuild it. I plan on taking my time and making it worth it, but now i have decisions to make, and that's where I need your help. I stripped the cylinder head down and cleaned everything a thoroughly as possible, I reground the valves and seats, cleaned on the gasket surfaces and checked for any thing that may need to be replaced, and to my surprise every single part of that 17 year old cylinder is still within specifications and 100% reusable. But if anyone knows of good cams, valves, springs, lifters, ect. that I should invest in to make a better finished product, your opinion matters. also note i do plan on turbo charging it eventually as well. Any information or suggestions anyone wants to share will be appreciated and taken into consideration. Thank you!

It all depends, I'm currently having a lot of problems with the Beams, I haven't had much time to diagnose them but it seems I might have the wrong ECU so until I find a proper one I don't think it will run right, so I can take the BEAMS back out and put the new 5s in and work on the BEAMS out side of the car and give it the attention it needs or if I could find another shell I would just put the 5s in that
