I have 2004 Corolla S, it has 300k miles on it and I assume it will go someday and I was thinking about getting a short block motor and starting fresh, but I would like to give it more power, where do I start? What do I need and are there specific things involved, like if I want to bore it, what else is required of me? Do I start getting performance heads and messing with valve timing or what?
Where is the best place to start?

Kurt... think LONG term + how much do YOU want to sink into this?

it's A LOT better, then the I/H/E route!
If you want to make real power, it's going to cost you! You go the cheap route, it's going create problems and headaches.. SAVE UP $$$!
YOUR 1st mod.. if your seriously.. should be a piggyback ecu w/ harness + dyno and a tune. Your I/H/E/P are absolute garage without this mod!
if you want to go with a safe mod.. set of wheels + summer/sport tires
