Bore and stroke it. That should give you plenty of improvement... Maybe some custom cams with ported and polished heads.

Custom intake 4 brl.
Throttle body Some nice one.

High performance ****.

and $$$, lol. if only i had a million dollars... as a matter of fact...I'd probably not even live in a house. I'll just live in a big garage with a room or 2. That and a big yard is all i need. I wouldn't mind working on cars all the time.

start with upgrading the intake manifold and cams to H/O

should be good for a few extra horses.

The "Y" pipe is where the exhaust pipes from each manifold come together by the oil pan. If you just keep the original it chokes the system. You want to go bigger so no choke. Magnaflow makes one.

But like they say, port and polish the heads to increase air and fuel flow into the cylinder.

BTW<-------A 68.5mm TB should be good.

by h/o he means a manifold and cams out of a high output 4.7. some of them were made with a different intake and a more aggressive cam. however 212 cams from krc are probably alot more aggressive than a factory pair of H/O cams.
