[parental voice] If you wanted torque, you maybe should have considered a car with a larger stroke. [/parental voice] That being said, I do believe that long-tube equal length headers have been said to improve torque considerably. I know they do on a Chevy 350.  There's always the SF turbo kit, that'll help torque considerably.

Well, if you're looking for a torque monster, front wheel drive wasn't the way to go...

Go 3-liter. More torque than traction in the first coupla gears. Lots less expensive than the turbo kit. Second option would be to go with the MSDS headers. Pretty decent torque gains with those for the price. I'd recommend going with a proper torque platform to begin with. (see sig) Cheers! Dan

LOL...Yeah I've thought about a different car, but I really don't want to get rid of this one right now. I have been contemplating a 3L, but that probably won't happen. Headers and a chip may be my ticket...Thanks for the help guys.
