Default Need some insight!

So i filed my taxes so i started looking again at what to do with my blown motor.Now i havent pulled it yet but im sure im gonna have some valve damage.So i was orignally gonna go with the bc stg 2 cams valves and retainers but after everything is said and done id be out at 1500 bucks which would be my return and i wouldnt have any oher money for other bolt ons.So now im thinking maybe just buy another wrx head swap sti cams and then use money for bolt ons like a new exhaust uel headers underdrive pulleys and a turbo inlet. What ever is left i need to dump into my trans since its in decent shape now but when i start making 300+ it wont last long.What do you guys think.Power wise im looking to stay under 350 but more then 300 so i shouldnt have a problem, turbo ill be running is a fp 18g and modded wrx injectors.Anything im missing just ask.

Fix whats broken, then worry about upgrading other things.

do it all at once, but i wouldnt do sti cams, just find some used bc cams nasioc or something, that should save you a few dollars then find a used exaust and header. just my $.02. but i would definently do cams while im there, although for your power goals you dont need cams. unless your like me and just want the lope of them

definitely focus on fixing the issue at hand. What's the exact problem with the engine? What diagnostics have been done?
