If you've decided your car is not fast enough, you first may want to start looking for a car with more HP, perhaps a turbo. Bolt ons will ad some small amounts of hp here and there, but not enought to change your opinion from what it is originally. Just enough to make you dissapointed. I actually enjoyed the gradual addition of parts and changed to my car and have always thought of the power as being adequate. The changes I have made are: SSI's, Sportmuffler, Huntley Racing programable MAF, bored throttle body, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Authority chip. How much did this cost? I figure about $3300 without labor . How much did I gain? I figure maybe 20-30hp tops. One way I can estimate the gain is that my car pull evenly with C2's on straights at the track. My car has 60K and alas, the dreaded valve guides are appearing to become and issue. While getting them done, I am contemplating a different crank, larger pistons and possible a different induction system. Fortunately, I can use most of the previously mentioned items. Ramblings aside, bolts ons are not going to transform your engine into a beast.
