Sure.. A flux capacitor, 3 stage nitrous kit with alcohol injection and a centrafuge blower. Now if you ask us a question like, I would like a little more power out of my 1994 4.9 what have you found that works we can help a little more.

the Mr Fusion has shown much better power gains than just the flux capacitor.

Just wondering........What should I watch for?
My 86 has a 4.9, no air.
What are the inherent problems with this motor?
It has @80,000 miles on it now. It doesn't burn or leak any oil.
It sat for 15 years in a heated garage without starting.
It does suck the fuel, are there any fixes for this?
Thanks for any help

You can make decent power for a minimal amount of money. Put a 4bbl intake and a 500 cfm carb on it. A decent cam wouldn't hurt either

Thats great but my goal is to keep it completely stock.
I would love to get rid of the emissions crap but Ive heard it really messes up the timing.
