I believe that you're seeing no replies to your questions as all of your questions have been answered at length in previous threads. The grammar and spelling probably hurt your appeal for help as well. SpellCheck is built in and free.

I would take a big step back from your parts list and answer the following questions:

1. What do I like about this car?
2. What do I not like about this car?
3. What aspects of this car and it's performance would I like to change?
4. What is my level of mechanical skill and experience?
5. What is my budget?

Hate to say this but your cheapest power increase may well be a motor swap to a V8. Otherwise a super six 2bbl, shave the head for some increased compression ratio, have a good 3 angle valve job done. Cheaper results? Get weight out of the car. Ditch the spare tire, strip out all the unneeded stuff, etc. Before doing anything motor wise - have a compression test done.

I went back and read your post twice more. To me it appears the best option you have is to do a complete tune up on your car, fix all the leaks, put some good brakes and tires on it, and leave it totally stock to make it a reliable daily driver. Save up your money and buy another car to make a weekend toy out of and leave this one stock.
