Only thing I can think of is to make sure that your maint. parts are up to it. For example checking your spark plugs to make sure they are gapped properly, checking your oil, stuff like that. Wish I coudl suggest more, but mostly from my experience, you have to drop some money and some time to really do anything to increase, or free up horsepower or torque from an engine.

on your stock fuel rail there is a return fuel line, get a zip tie and crimp that mother fucker up so no fuel can go in it this pushes more fuel into ur cylinders.
Would that cause longevity problems with the engine because of the extra fuel being shoved into the cylinders, perhaps not combusting it all, and really screwing up the valves, or something of that nature? I know that performance comes from leaning usually. riching just burns excess fuel, and unless you are running forced induction or N2O, it's pretty much just being pushed out the exhaust unburned. Which will probably screw up your cat, but if you remove that, then I guess that eliminates that concern.

first off i called my friend who is a mechanic about the advice frankie gave me, so i know he is full of shit. Second, it took me like 2 hours to get that rubber band off my return line. third, I dont know this guy, he emailed me, but that doesn't mean i know him.
Thanks for nothing.
