Where are you getting these HP numbers from??? They're bogus! You get more hp from a carburetor than a SC? Start with the basics: CAI, nice flowing cat and exhaust and a good tune-up.

What are your HP goals?

If you have a turbo car, you have some reading to do.

Start here Donovan's Dodge Garage

There is an NA section in there if you are looking for that. I will tell you though, you are probably better off not spending time and money on an NA car. Just learn how to take care of it.

True. Also consider your transmission. If you are working with the 3 Spd auto it is always going to be in your way.
