Read the post about turning up the fuel pump, but dont go much over 1/4 turn... Get an egt gauge, avoid temperatures over 1200.. Maybe a performance air intake and exhaust. Other then that theres not a whole lot you can do.

You might wanna read some of the many threads on here, if i missed something they didnt
