I want to improve my baby celi's heart and improve the all-around performance yet I just bought a house and would like to improve the shop next to it first. So I figure I can still plan for it so when the day arrives that I can I'll be ready.

Before, in my fantasy, I wanted to swap my 5s-fe head with the 3s-ge head because I heard twin cams are better. Then later I wanted the beams motor. I didn't want the 3s-gte motor because I wanted to go naturally aspirated. But now I have no idea what to go for.

If i go with the 3s-ge head, I know it bolts up to the 5s-fe block yet the coolant holes don't completely line up.

The Beams head also sounds nice. And I'm sure the coolant hole don't line up completely and there would be more work involved because of the vvt-i.

Then there's the thought of where to go if I want forced induction. Would I want turbo or supercharched? What motor would I want it on? I know presure2 pulled out some nice numbers with the turbocharged 5s-fe. I could go that way or do the 3s-gte swap.

None of this is high on the priority list right now as I already stated above. I'm just looking for your thoughts and opinions. (yes, I have searched the forums and read about some of these changes, so I do know some things about them. I know what's fantasy and reality.)

I would like to know about gas mileage on some of them since, you know, gas prices are not too friendly now. And also would like to know some drag times if anyone has them.

Thanks for any thoughts and facts shared with this.
