Engine's out-help me spend my $$
 

I finally found time to yank the engine and tranny. I was wondering what else I could do to add some HP for under a grand. I already decided to get the tranny brake for my C4 and I'm having Dynamic Racing put that in Thursday and I'm planning on getting a more aggresive flat tappet cam. I was thinking about getting the conversion kit for the Roller cam & lifters but I thought 500 bucks was a lot for a cam kit. What else can I do while the engine is out?? Also, do I need to get my chip reprogrammed for the cam swap??
