    Do you have NGK spark plugs?
    Get an Accel Super Stock coil. They're $30.
    Get a reground cam. It'll cost you around $150 and will make a big difference. YK86 is thinking about puttin together a group buy for cam regrinds from Colt. OpenLoop also does a cam regrind for our cars that is proven to give strong results.

    Check out A20A1's site:

    His list of mods will give you some good ideas.

    Well, the cam changes everything practically in your motor's dynamics. It allows for more air to enter the combustion chamber, which means more fuel is there, and that means more power...and the exhaust is open longer to allow for faster flow, which means more power.

    Cam regrind = good.

    dont get the Pacesetter exhaust... get the high flow cat and go to ur local exhaust shop an get them to bend you a 2.25 inch pipe from the header to the stainless muffler. put the cat inline. you will notice a huge diff in price and performance over the MONZA exhaust!

    I heard somewhere that instead of 2.25 use 2 inch pipe all the way back with a free flow cat, this makin for more torque

    Ask YK86 (Yasu) about his group buy that is going, or ask Justanothermike.

    First of all tell me if you have to be emissions legal. If not....there are several cheap ways to gain more horsepower. If so.....prepare to spend more cash for the legal stuff.....including the convertor and stuff. I don't even know if the regrind on the cam will still make you pass testing......anybody know?
    In the end...it doesn't even matter.
