Get a pyrometer gauge and turn up the injection pump. I turned mine up one flat but I wouldn't go any more without a pyro gauge. straight pipe and I think that's about it without going to a turbo.

GAUGES FIRST!! Open exhaust, turbo, headers, a better air intake, adjust IP, might be time for injectors, and return lines.

Yup I agree. I love the idi but it deff ain't something u can squeeze a ton of power out of. I have heard of custom injector pumps and high hp injectors for them but not totally sure. If u do turn up the ip make sure u keep an eye in the pyro don't let her get up any higher then 1200degrees other wise u'll melt holes in ur pistons
