If you don't want to spend the money, your not going to get the power. You'll free up some lost HP, but if the engine is strong, you could maybe gain 10hp, and that's a very generous number. 10hp gain on a 100hp motor is a 10% increase, which is ALOT. These motors aren't like the new ones they have now where they are over-engineered and power is limited through the car's computer. Your motor is 20yr old technology....


You want power for cheap, nitrous is the only answer, but hopefully you don't blow anything up that way. You can turbo, or swap+turbo, but they're not cheap.

Power isn't free.
