You may be able to achieve 100 flywheel hp with this, but wheel hp will be anywhere from 15% to 30% less. Of course a header would'nt hurt either. If there is any money left over, you could go with a small NOS setup to get the 100 wheel hp you desire.

bigger flow and bigger exchaust. get k&n filter (don't go with the ractive) , then 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 cat back system. If you're looking for better ignition set up get bosch platinum +4 plugs and NGK wires or if you wanna go thicker 8.8mm accel. thats a good start, but if you wanna get the best of the mx-3 unfortunately you gotta swap the engine.

The only advantage to a Platnium plug is that it the igion has a easier time achivbing arc over. Which for some of the better plugs you can increse the gap size and get a bit better performace this being 1-2 fwhp.. but in case of bosch plat +4's where the gap is not adjsutable.. your smokin mcpotty..
