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!

yeah my 5S-FE was still in spec too. i just honed the cylinder walls and put new rings and bearings in it. if course all new gaskets. i have a ton of 1ZZ and 2ZZ valve springs. i just need a 5S-FE spring and i can compare. the 2ZZ would be a good upgrade because we run those up to 8500 RPMs all day long.
