i know of some intakes........

i aint worried about emissions

would this be wiser than having a fuel injection and a computer?

would i see a power increase?

Well that depends what have you don to it so far.

If you haven't done it yet. Free up your intake and your exhaust. it will build a good fondation for future mods.

As I was doing my bodywork, the day before I swapped out the driver's side door, I painted it neon orange, and put a black "01" on the side.

i would bet you loose power... + the throttle would be delayed = slower reaction time for the 1/4

convert to a carb on a 3.4 and run a radical cam 9.5:1 compression with roller rockers and port the heads

dual roller timing chain


i wanna build a 60* that can make some decent power (250HP)

i feel the computer is limiting me, becuz i have no clue how to reprogram a chip to accept this kinda stuff
