best PERFORMANCE parts to use in rl 3.5 engine b4 swap...

ok. yea i could search all day & find jumbled info (sorry for not searching guys ahead of time) but i mean straight up if you have a little money to spend what are the main parts you would replace / swap out into the 3.5 rl engine b4 installing into your legend body (performance wise - yes i know maintenance wise what should be done)? so far i've gathered type 2 IM, type 2 fuel rails & type 2 heads or p&p'd heads. and are webcams a brand of cams made for the 3.2 or rl 3.5 or am i misunderstanding what the webcams are? & is it possible &/or worth boring for better/custom pistons & rings or should one just get a 3 or 5 angle valve job on the stock ones? i have my 3.5 engine & basically want to cap my actual motor work cash to maybe 1500-1800. serious helpful replies only please my friends.

web cams the company an be done for both 3.2 an 3.5, custom piston would be a great plus in bumping your compression up, i heared you can use the MDX pistons but not sure what that would call for, you can also upgrade your injector size and fuel pump

yea trying to see right now if labrat will sell the 3 besides the crank pulley & then try to acquire a 3.5 pulley or get one made or something. if it's just the stock pulley cnc'd from 6061 t6 aluminum there are more than a few machine shops that can make you one if you just bring them your stock.

To match the level of quality and precision I have provided the community it will take a pretty penny. Why not just by mine since I put up the initial expense?

I have one exact duplicate from the GB and one that the journal (center hole diameter) is off by about the thickness of some duck tape (which I used with it and it worked great) after that if I do, do individual runs it will either be via group buy or individual request.
