good place for parts, but unfortunately, just buying performance parts for this engine and slapping them in isn't gonna happen like it is with other engines. i would get a re-ring kit, have the block machined(and get new bearings), shave the head a bit, oversized valves, bigger rockers, and new valve springs, and if you can, a port and polish job on the head. then see how you like that. after that, i would look into a turbo set-up. should make you pretty happy. its a basic, not too expensive(compared to what some on here do) build that should get you in the low to mid 200 hp range, depending on which turbo you go with.

buy a wrecked 03-05 cav ... and use it as a complete swap car for yours. and then supercharge it with the cobalt or ion redline supercharger.
