Anyone have any other ideas for quick power upgrades? I have the usual I/H/E upgrade and also installed a weapon r throttle rotor (really makes a difference). I am thinking of upgrading the pulleys (crankshaft and accesories) too. Is there anything else that can add power besides doing actual engine mods like camshafts or turbo/superchargers? The unfortunate part is I don't have the greatest cashflow at this time, so that limits me. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME GET ONE OF THOSE +20HP MODS OFF OF EBAY!!!! (Just kidding obviously) :lol:

Need some power? Go for this setup.

Twin turbo LS1. Good for over 1000rwhp(many different turbo combinations). If you want to make a freak car, do it the right way and don't get a rough running, tractionless four. I'm sure you could get an LS1 in there. It would cruise as smooth as daddy's cadillac and be able to murder just about anything.

Wow, just....wow....
I know that if I were MattCivic, I would be SOOOOO stoked that everyone put up their favorite automotive masturbation photos instead of offering any advice.
Matt, if you got this far, sorry. See what Ace said, yeah, stop there. Course, Honda racing is right too...horsepower is anything but cheap. You have completed stage one. From here on, you're gonna have to do some research and spend some coin if you want more power.
Here's one of several fun DIY turbo links, not too expensive, you can buy in stages, and you won't have to buy a corvette.
