Rep Power: 0 yeah about the only way you are going to get more ponies is to go internal with the motor. You have done all the after market mods you can do.. I have the intake and exhaust, but don't have the headers yet. so you are one step ahead of me! what headers did you go with?
and if you want to be quicker go with smaller rims.. I know it doesn't look as cool, but trust me it is quicker with lighter rims either, smaller or more expensive rims that are bigger but weigh less..

no N20 or turbo, good luck on getting much of anything, if u just want bolt ons ur stuck with just about what u got. power is going to be created by going internal, either all motor or FI or both. to say the truth a turbo or n20 would be better than going all motor, if u dont want to have to take the motor out and take it completely apart

Rep Power: 0 lol, if you don't wanna take the engine apart, and you don't want to add a turbo, or nitrous, then how the hell do you expect to get any horsepower? it doesn't magically appear.

once you install the turbo don't you need to also do some internal work? Let's say you get the SF turbo kit, will the engine handle all the extra power?

Rep Power: 504 You could always get the Ram Air kit to add on to your intake. Weapon R makes it. There's a huge thread on it.

u dont necessarily have to do internal work with the turbo. yes the engine will be able to handle the majority as long as u dont turn the boost up to a ridiculous level
