All this stuff is over my head, there is a hot rod shop close to me that I talked to and I plan on taking it to them soon and have them give me some ideas on what to do. I am mechanical (can take things on and off) but don't know the first thing about comp readings, lift readings ect.

Thanks

Its time to learn how to tune it.
Most hot rod shops want to sell you alot of parts, many may or may not be needed.
Read and ask alot of questions here and do it yourself.
