i have an 87 and its na and i wanted to know things i can do to get more power from it without boosting it.

 

full exhaust (including header), it actually changes the whole driving experince of the car.

 

I had a gunmetal 88 that I had A Cold air intake racing beat street header and presilencer, Custom exhaust, Pullies, FC1000 ignition, Efan, Power steering and ac removed, Aluminum hood, MR Short Shifter and a ACT Dual friction Clucth, with a 4.30 diff and that car was beautiful on the street. when i added the 50 shot things got really fun then went to 75 shot with 550 secondaries the car was moving. Made it a really fun car to drive and it lasted almost 1 year on the 75 shot no problems then decided to make it turbo N/A and blew it up in 30 min lol.



My reccomend list to mod is:

1: Aluminum Radiator (worth its weight in plutonium)

2: Headers, presilencer(or straight pipe check local laws first for inspection purposes)Custom exhaust

3: Intake Cold Air Preferable short ram works to

5: Ignition(gives you crisp throttel responce and a little better MPG)

6: Weight Reduction(anything you dont use A/C, loop the steering rack) Hood,

7: Efan(3rd gen alt REC.)

8: Pullies main underdrive, waterpump and alt(gilmer drive is sweet but it is money)

9: Gauges A/F, oil Temp, colant temp, (not for performance but for saftey)



At this point if not before you are probably maxing out stock injectors so mabey some stock TII secondaries will help things out



10: Clucth W/ light wheel flywheel( makes car a little harder to get moving but makes up in throttel responce)

11: 4.30 Diff (not good for highway MPG but makes car hella quicker out the whole)

12: N20 With 550cc secondaries like me you could run a wet 75 shot day and night with the above mods no problem my car had 220K miles on original motor



Lastley becuase of $$$ you could port your motor and run a stand alone and you could easily see a 250+HP N/a with N2O mine did 219WHP with a 50 shot stock ecu stock port and air/fuel ratio allover the place becuase of a bad AFM so.........

 

Some kind of piggy back might help too. (cough)s-afc(cough)

 

you could run 550cc with out a piggy back you are only richening up on the top end thats what i did it made the car feel helathier after i swaped them out i was expireincing a miss at high rpm 5500-7500 and after i swaped them it went bye bye and pulled hard

 

You left off lightweight flywheel, doesn't technically add power, but lets more power get to the wheels quicker. Well whatever the technical jargon is, it's fun as hell to drive with one.

 

No i did not read the whole #10

 

oops, well it was worth saying twice.
