If you are going to do it then I would say do it all, go with the headgasket, get a valve job, change fuel pump. You will hate it if you do it halfway and it drives like doo doo.

you should definately prep everything first before you go ahead with the na-t or even buying na-t. even though many Sc's has surpassed the 200k mark with just regular maintenance only, it is still a good idea to be prepared for something or anything. good luck with you project.

300rwp.. you can get by with stock headgasket, stock everything as long as you have a good compression and leak down.. but the fuel pump is must. no other.. our couple of freind running same NAT making 320, 350, 330rwp.. none of them as touched internal yet, and driving everyday ... for last years
