Hey guys!

I am looking for the following for my motor so far, i have the k8 v6.

Magnecor Wires
Unorthodox Ultra Series Crank Pulley

I need to know who makes the following:
Performance Engine Bushing
Upgraded Motor Mounts
Pacesetter Header
Performance Lifters
Performance Retainers
Performance Intake & exhaust Valves
Performance Valve Seals
Performance Valve Springs
Performance Fuel Pump
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel Rail
Whats a good injector and CC to run?
Fuel Computer
Fuel Filter
Fuel Pump
Radiator Hoses
Distributor Cap & rotor
Ignition System

I am also looking to upgrade the igntion system, fuel system, anything really to make more reliable horsepower, I am not looking for big numbers or forced induction just to stay N/a with reliability. So if you know of something I can do to make more horsepower because I am not a performance person really so i dont know alot let me know

step 1. remove the K8 from the engine bay
step 2. drop in a ZE or DE and call it a day

I know I'm knowcking on you tonight, but you are being a super newb.

The K8 is too small to get much out of. You can spend alot less and have a much easier time finding parts to upgrade on a KL motor.

my thoughts exactly, it will cost u less to motor swap in the long run and much better to swap and upgrade that atfer awhile

You can get i guess like 170 out of a BUILT k8... and like 210 if forced induction? BUT.. well the kl31 cammed ze already has 200 hp... add those internals to the ze or boost it and you will be the happiest camper ever.
