Where do you want the power top end speed or lower end power? what have you already got in it?
what kind of gears are you running? |

go to the dump, look at a bunch of posts by a guy named slantsix. once you've recovered from the ensuing hysterical laughter... it's almost cheaper to go with a v8 than try to get much more power out of a slant six. you'd have to do some serious work to get real power, even with nitrous or a supercharger, and with a blower you're easily pushing v8 prices. good luck! if all else fails, just put a 4.86 rear end in, you'll beat most people stoplight-stoplight.

you should visit the JY-Turbo newsgroup on yahoo thost guys build turbo setups with home welded manifolds and junkyard turbos that put 2 HP pr cube easy and all for a pricetag of less than 1000 bucks for a twin turbo v8, blowthru, Nitrous will also add loads of power but like turbos it can produce way more power than your engine can cope with and kill an engine faster than you can let off the gas.. anyway good luck with it
