You can do little stuff, but you'll never notice a difference with a 2.3L unless you do some expensive custom work or an svo motor swap (2.3L Turbo). Well how about a v8 swap?

There are plenty of parts, such as cams, rods, heads for the 2.3L motor. But you best bet is to find an old T-bird Turbo Coupe in a junk yard and use that motor with the turbo.

steps to increase horsepower to above 100 in a 4-banger:
1. remove 4-banger
2. install v-8
instant horsepower! works every time!
