The paint to get is "cast iron" color duplicolor 500 degree engine paint. It's actually like a metallic grey. It's funny because I painted the cast iron block with "aluminum" color paint and I painted the aluminum intake manifold with "cast iron" color paint. lol...
I'm planning on getting an emu, custom equal length headers, new exhaust, methanol injection, 150 shot jets, a tune, drag front suspension mod, stock front brakes, 15x8 front wheels, and some slicks before I go to the track.

Headers (like vq cattman/hotshot) should help quite a bit and will make the exhaust sound a lot better. I'm going to have a local shop make them. I'm not sure how much they'll cost, but I figure that they should cost about $1500.

$1500 is a conservative estimate. expect more by the time you're done with it. more like 2-2.5k.
no cams yet. because of the Z32 pistons in it, I don't know/trust the piston-valve clearance on this engine so I'm waiting to grind cams until I know how much room I have.
a set of custom grind cams and valve springs (again custom) should cost you ballpark of $1000.

are you at least running better pads?
if so what kind?(haven't seen you mention it, but i may just be blind)
#95
for anything below road course use, stock rotors with Axxis MetalMaster or Hawk HPS pads is absolutely adequate.
even in full-race spec, the stock size brakes are fine if you use the proper race compound brake pads. hawk black or blue on stock rotors is what most cars in production and prepared class racing use.
