Try looking into an underdrive pulley, MSD ignition system, um make sure u got NGK plugs if u don't get some for a couple extra ponies, you could take out your a/c, replace your mechanical fan for electric ones that'll free up some horsies, umm the more weight u lose the faster you'll go so go nuts, ecu upgrade, i dunno go do some research, good luck

once teh minor bolt ons are done, things start to get more expensive, and they do less and less (not modding the internals that is). If you invest $400 in some street cams, and another $500 or so on the KA24E pistons (to increase compression assuming you have a DE), you'll see at least 20 horses to the wheels. This is plus the 8-10HP you get from your bolt ons. With that setup, a good clutch, and an LSD, you should run mid-low 14s depending on your skill and tire/wheel setup.

If you'd kill me (referring to himself being teh first black president), you just open up the borders, because my Vice President would be Mexican. Isn't that right Mr. Santiago?

if you do all the bolt-ons, zebrahead, you'll get more than 8-10 HP. intake, headers, exhaust, pulleys....thats probably more than 10 HP. i mean i dont know how much but i'm pretty sure it would be more. in the recent issue or SCC i think it was, they took a '95 or '96 240 w/ over 100k miles, and put on exhaust, CAI and pulleys and got like 20 dynoed HP. its unbelieveable almost, but if its true, then thats awesome.

1) get the advanced timing kit on ebay - easy free hp2) use the zmax total car care kit you see on tv to help engine3) add 3 foot spoiler for drag reduction and acceleration aiding4) use a coffee can size muffler tip to flow out air easier5) tornado fuel saver - save some gas6) electric supercharger on ebay7) stickers - the more you have towards the rear of your car, the more balanced your car will be -> 50/50 weight distribution and you'll corner like a mofo.
