I was wondering when I get the RB30E motor rebuild. What can I do to make it push out alot of power? Like cams? What else? Please list some mods that could be done to the engine. Thanks.

Port & polish, cam, timing, new leads and plugs, etc. That's about it, really other wise you spend so much you would have been better of dropping in a turbo. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
