performace turbo, bigger injectors, turn your pump up, advance timing, 366 spring, put in a intercooler, custom intake, 4in downpipe, guages, and then be prepared to replace your head gasket at some point that will make you happy for a bit. im not sure how much hp that will give you tho.

Fire rings aren't for daily drivers... O-rings are a better option for street driven trucks.
