Weekend Warrior 2!

Hey guys I'm back!!
The 1960 is done!!! Now I can focus a lil more on my mini!
So after the CAI, 2.5" magnaflow and a minor remapping I'm looking to get a lil mote performance. I had a few things in mind I was wondering about:
-head work on the stock head? Just a p&p and maybe some vavle springs?
- short throw?
- headers
- maybe a cam job?
What do you guys think? My local track opens this weekend and ill be taking the mini and the GMC out to go head to head and see what fully built muscle does these minis :D

Head would be good if you plan on a better tune. You can throw some cames in it too.

For power you should also consider a performance down pipe and a FMIC. With those additions on top of what you've already done add a tune as well and you'll be able to get some good HP and torque numbers out of the R56.
