Get a V8, that is your only hope! OK, but seriously, you will have to get new headers if you turbo it. If you want it to be fast then you will have to use nitrous and a huge turbo. Get a crate engine, what are they called, Cyclone?

if you're gonna turbo it anywa.. i'll wait till you get it then do the exaust. no point to put on a 2.5' now and change later. and no point of putting on 3' now.

Please don't give advice unless you know what you are talking about.

LMAO....

ya, get a N2O setup for now, and then save all of your $ for a turbo setup... ar save all your $$ for an Eclipse with a 4g63 already in it [GST/GSX] cuz it will probably cost the same...

all I can say is v8 is your only hope? with your track time.
give me a break, I was doing that with small mods on my gs, and you got 4 more cyl. don't get me wrong here I am all about what makes power, v8's too (I have a 71 stang with a 429 cobra jet). but in all honesty, in matters involving v8s and what they are capable of, yours sucks. so why give that advice.
