No no no and NO .....
Even when you add them up you're still NOT going to see big results as the motor is pretty damn good as is....
To make a big leap in NA power takes some serious coin and smarts, both of which tend to be in short supply here.
Personally I'd take a Mint NA over some flogged out rusty PoS GTE any day of the week.
How about a flogged out, but not rusty n/a? :biglaugh:
I'll agree here. I've done the exhaust from the head back(3 times from the header back to get what I wanted), full CAI(3" aluminum tubing, ceramic coated from the intake to the MAF, filter just above the fog light), 1 piece d.s., electric fans, MSD coil and wires, and clutch upgrade. Only other bolt-ons I can think of(that I haven't done) would be a light weight flywheel and adjustable cam gears. I occasionally get to drive another member's 90 n/a auto(almost completely stock), and it seems to be as fast as mine. His motor is fresh(rebuilt about a year ago), where mine is closing on 210,000 mi.'s on original internals. I wouldn't mind taking both to the track, just to see what difference there is.
I'll also say that this is probably the best built, well thought out car that I've had the pleasure of owning, much less working on. Everything is easy to get to, easy to get apart, and easy to get back together. Well, other than the starter...
