Thumpers, Tmoss explorer intake and 65mm TB, gears, subframes, and roller rockers, maybe some longtubes! That would be a nice little addition for not all the much money.

SUSPENSION!
Everyone likes to go ahead and spend money on beefing up the engine but always forgets about the suspension. It doesn't matter how much power the engine puts out if you can't plant it to the ground. I'd suggest upper and lower controls arms and at least subframe connectors since it is a convertible. I'm guessing the stock 1990 lx vert is not the car in your sig so i'd suggest some rear gears if it doesn't already have them. Then you could try a tmoss intake and some thumper heads.

Yes the vert is not the car in the sig. It is completely stock. Suspension does seem like the way I should go. I think I'll do the 3.73 gears and then the thumpers. I have a brand new e-cam just sitting in the garage.
