Sounds good, make sure the new pump is Ethanol tolerant, Ethanol EATS the old pumps up. Also.....Make sure you get forged pistons, and good proper ring end gap before you add any extra pressure to your bottom end, or the pistonies will shatter if it has anymore than say 5-8 inches of boost. Don't wanna bust it up.
I think my head gasket may be bad

Thanks for the information I am not as schooled in performance tuning only standard repairs and rebuilds. I just don't have the shop and place to do major work anymore here in Vegas.
Thats about the number. I sometimes thought it was too much, but nice to know it was probably the going rate
nust tossing this lut there for duture readers. sounds like the OP is happy to spend they money if a future owner reads this, with a liece of scrap granit countertop and some sandpaper and some spray adhesive, you can redeck your own heads and reassemble if u have basic tools and a garage and a youtube source. bag and tag every single set of bolts and lay then in a sequential line from the first set of bolts you remove to the last. then reverse on install.
im only dropping this comment here because if a you gster with no money but time saw 6k for a head gasket they might walk away from the car. it can be done for $500.
cheers.

The 6k was for a complete re and re. Not JUST a head gasket. 5k actually, I had other work that added to the 1k left. I wouldve done it myself, but no time or garage.
Actually, not sure, as I had it oversized .040 over, mild cam and roller rockers went in.
