keep your eyes open on this and other forums for used tuners and what not alot of people sell good performance stuff for cheap but a tuner really wakes the old girl up believe me!!

Gasket match the intake manifold, the throttle body elbow and the intake ports of the heads. Junk yard electric fans.

That's a simple one.... Nitrous. Best BANG per buck around. Put about a 50-75 shot on it.

NOS works. Although some of these dumbass movies that have come out in the past ( ie: The fast & the furious ) have made NOS seem silly!

Not sure how tight your budget is, but you could always get a programmer. They've gotten really affordable here lately.

that sounds more reasonable for the old girl, i was also looking at piggy back chips that come with programers, gotta do a bit more research on it first
