Default Process on building up an N/A motor??

Of course I'm starting with I/H/E but what to do after that? I know about all the parts but I don't know a certain process on getting them. I know some need other parts to work properly so that's why I'm asking about a "process" as to what to buy and when. I know this motor will never be super fast but I'd like to try to make it as quick as I can w/o going turbo or supercharged.

there's light weight crank pulley, engine damper, aerodynamic under panel, iridium spark plugs, grounding kit, and replacing the hoses with silicon ones for a start. There's more out there but it requires a specialty racing shop to do.

some high compression pistons/rods/rings/pin will help then some valves and valve springs would also help, you could get your cams regrided, port polish, and you could also bore the block and find a well known and trusted machine shop to get your cam shaft regrinded, dont forget to reinforce the block and so forth by getting it sleeved and new bolts and so forth...........after all that dyno it..........then report back

I don't want to get internal on the motor (yet). I just want exterior components that I can install w/o having to take the motor apart to install it. I just know some parts need others to work properly so I was asking what to do first (after I/H/E) and then the process thereafter.

ok a koyo radiator, clutch, flywheel, engine dampener, pulley (preferably lightened and not underdriven but thats on you), electrical stuff i guess, oil catch can not sure for what haha, spark plugs/wires, fuel injectors, fuel rail, and well thats as far as you can go without gettin all into the motor......................o yea you can put in about 50 shots of Nitrous Oxide........i guess that would still be NA would it?

just got my lightened crank pulley installed today on top of the i/h/e setup. man that thing rocks ___ highway acceleration is the most noticeable difference.

Yea the pulley's been great since i installed mines as well the most noticeable thing out of it would be the acceleration in third gear from when i get to third to redline it accels pretty fast
