You're on the right track. My suggestion is heads and cam. Save up a little more and go for the LE2 setup.

Re: $1400 to spend

i would agree on the heads and cam package but just remeber it could easily cost well over just the price of the heads and cam. Such things as numerous gaskets, things that may break or you find that need replacing. Could end up costing you 2-3k but it won't seem like so much if you do it slowly.

good luck

Save up some more and get either a rear end or a heads/cam package. You could also get yourself a nice brake setup or suspension setup. What are your intentions for the car?
