Search around the site and read the stickies at the top of the page. This gets asked alot. Start with the basics: intake and exhaust.

Remember to no neglect the basics while you're trying to improve upon performance...

A vaccuum leak in these things will render a 500 hp engine useless.

Not that you'll ever see 500hp out of these things
