Well, it all depends on what you are looking for. With stock suspension, you can't really run your car with too much savvy. I suggest some sway bars, sport springs, and poly bushings from IPD. They really tighten up the chassis of the car. For engine upgrades, there really is no special tweak that will gain you instant horsepower. A cam upgrade will help, as will a better exhaust. You could throw on a weber carb, but these can get rather pricey.If you really want to go wild, I suggest you look for a B20E. This motor has higher compression, (10.0 to 1)bigger intake ports, and bigger exhaust ports. It was rated at 130 HP. Hope this helps.
