that at good pull for a bone stock 12v. need to look into an 4" exhaust and sliding your stock fuel plate forward, and adjust the afc on the pump and pull the turbo ring and cai.

the cai is and cold air intake. and as far as the fuel plate slide it all the way forward and back it off 1/8 of an inch that should get you another 50hp or more. these old 12vs are easy to get power out of. make sure you adjust the afc to there are some good writes on here with good pics you should have no problem doing these mods your self
