    u can swap ur intake manifold to the 4g93 manifold, the old mirage intake manifold. somehow it gives better flow or something. u can port and polish the intake manifold, bore or stroke your engine. tons of things. better grounding points are iffy, but they increase mpg and ive heard that some cases it can boost hp. replacing the stock exhaust, and getting a test pipe or high flow cat, not to mention a header that flows better will reduce on weight and let your car breathe better. it'll make better use of your intake as well. getting a piggyback ecu and a mild tune will give u plenty of unforseen power. even a better a/f tune from a sri or catback exhaust can boost hp/tq.

    check out rrm's piggyback ecu. its 400 but comes with tuning software to tune ur car. if you get a wideband, you can tune it even further, and make use of the header, dp, cat, and exh system. glad i could help bro! 8)

    I guess the next step for added power is lightening your car. Maybe new motor mounts and lose all the extra s@#t that is unnecessary. Honestly not sure what that would entail, but less would equal more in this case. That is probably your next step before ripping your engine apart and tuning for a turbo. Good luck bro.

    don't know if these have been mentioned yet

    Better plugs over stock
    Drop some hood-weight (carbon/fiberglass)
    Underdrive or Crankshaft pulley

    yes Evolve, it has been mentioned, but i appreciate the reply anyway.... i'm just tryin to get the quick inexpensive "add-on/bolt-on" that i can... cuz u know a carbon/fiberglass hood will cost sum CASH $$...

    i spent a little under $500.00 to get my header/downpipe/hi-flo cat & complete cat back system... so i'm just tryin to get any and all ideas

    ** thank you all for ur responses **
