You are incorrect. My wife's 90 vert is bumped to 14/15 and still runs fine on 87.

It's basically stock. It has racing wires and shorty headers but other than that it is stock. What else could I besides the timing that is cheap.

What do you consider cheap? under $1000 ? /gears,N2O,and sticky tires. Can't do much more than that when your talking bang for the buck

Well you seemed to be the expert so I thought id ask you....I really dont think its going to do much, maybe make your engine ping.

Op Do fulll exhaust (catback, midpipe and headers)gears, remove air silencer, cold air intake if you want, I dont think there worth it though. Basicly just do some bolt ons
