I don't know what to say.

You drive it like it is - if its "runnin fine"

You sell it and get a new one.

You rebuilt the engine.

You get a new engine.

But what you are asking for is a bottle of miracle HP restore fluid or something? GOOD LUCK

No. My engine looks fine. Took off the heads today to get ready to do the swap. Everything looks suprisingly good. I didnt see any wear or anything. But i always run sea foam and use full synthetic and change it every 5k and all that. I baby my engine and i think thats why its lasted so long.

If it's "fine" then just boost it. Buy a nice supercharger, for the power range your looking at I say KB or Procharger for the simplicity but practically any decent supercharger kit will give you that. If something blows, then....well **** happens.
