what else could i do to give me more HP besides sprayin it
Port and polish the intake. Add a bigger T/B...but DON'T add a T/B spacer...complete waste of $$$
If you need to know cost, I suggest lookin for a race shop near you and gettin an estimate.
port and polish and larger TB will not add more than 2-3 hp. the stok setup flows enough air for the stock engines demands. not worth the money on a stock engine

add a cam and ported heads then yes you will gain a nice amount. depending on cam as much as 40hp

you also need a richmond gear install kit available from www.summitracing.com
part# RMG-8310451 and you must follow a proper break-in procedure to ewnsure the new bearings in the rear seat properly

take short 20 minute drives at no more than 55mph and let the rear cool down. repeat this for about 400 miles and the rear will be broken in properly
