I hope your joking about that paperweight you listed from ebay. 
most people just make their own heatshield and yes, they do make quite a big difference in stand still traffic.

I am going to put a turbo kit on from Az dyno I was just wondering what all of you thought would be good upgrades for the engine. diamond pistons etc... to make the engine last awhile. What all would you do if money was not an issue.

"What all would you do if money was not an issue". Is this not the case? If money is no issue than i don't know what pistons to go with. I got diamond pistons. Those should work fine. I would bore it sleeve it, I would Buy titanium rods and shave the crank. balance the engine . THis could quite literally keep going and going and going...........no i simply undersand what you mean. IF you want 400whp its recommended to get forged rods and pistons. If you are going to be under that get custom pistons, main bearings and stronger rod bolts. someone else can fill in or recommend something else i missed.

OK lets say you did want over 400whp what would you do to the engine to make it handle the horse power.

Yes I saw that car on e-bay but it didn't meet the reserve. That car is awsome and the buy now price was only 18k. The only problem is I already have a 99csvt with only 26k miles on it.

Custom wrist pins
Pauter rods - 1030
Clevite 77 rod bearings -100
Federal Mogul main bearings
Street Flight turbo kit - 5000
