Sell the jammers and get a bigger set of stix. You will be amazed what a good set of 200 will do compared to jammers. I had jammers and went to mach 5s (200 hp) in the 99 and it felt like i gain 150 hp. I also have a set of schieds 200+ in the 01 and they are insane. Look at F1s, DDP, II, Schieds. Those jammer 4s are prolly only giving you 80-90 hp.

I don't see a lift pump upgrade in your sig. I suggest you do that before spending money anywhere else.

Sounds like you have all the bases covered, Curt99.

Edit: Part of my reply sounded bad, which wasn't my intent.

You can get the drag upgrade on your comp for a little more. Injectors can definately add some fuel too

I suggest that you do head studs as soon as possible- more power (more fuel+more air) equals more pressure to contain. The FP gauge is a necessity too.
IMO you could shoot for a very nice setup with a drag comp, F1 Helix2 cam with valve springs and some Mach 4s or Mach5s. But you'll need at least some head studs to keep it together.
An almost free mod to improve the fuel supply at high rpm and high load is to use the holley blue and some 10mm id fuel line to build your custom fuel supply. The stock banjos are less than optimal for high flow. I prefer rubber fuel lines like Gates Auto Master because I believe that the dampening of pressure pulses is beneficial to pump life, but I haven't got any hard data to prove it.
