Put a 50-75 shot of nitrous on it. Go with a 1step colder plug like a NGK TR6, and suprise people when you smoke the crap outta them. With a wet nitrous system a 75 shot on the motor should be totally safe!! later ~~~~~~rob

in order to make more power you need to burn more gas (unless your running rich)

you also need to spend money

Dude there ain't much left that don't cost... maybe a replacement muffler but you ain't gonna gain much without engine mods to get the potential. Maybe a shift kit...labor will cost you if you don't do it... LT1 Edit if you can get in on a good GP.

Some handling mods are relatively cheap. Upgraded pads, a good set of lca's, larger front swaybar if you autocross... you're just waistin' money unless you're gonna take advantage of these things.

exhaust is THE ONLY mod that will give you power and actually improve gas mileage... granted you dont have a lead foot
