They also may not have a second car for the downtime.

1.) Stop modding your car.
2.) Get a JRSC and leave it the hell alone.
3.) Go boost and blow your motor forcing you to do either a rebuild or a swap
4.) Get a swap
5.) Go all motor in the beastly single cam and make 160whp after spending $7,000
Actually B series swaps are getting crazy cheap these days. as far as getting more power from the SOHC I would start with a a full exhaust. if you plan on doing a turbo then I would recommend something alittle bigger then a T25, look into a 14B, they can be upgraded to as larg as a big 16G and will preduce all the flow you need. but if staying all motor, you can make power with a SOHC but a B motor will put a smile on your face.

So basicly my next move should be a cat-back system my friend has a pace setter and says i should be able to pick one up for around $200.00 i want to keep my axle back skunk2 and i want it to be manderal bent so i can't just go to rainbow and get some creased up mess does anyone else know of an inexpensive mid and S pipe or should i go pace setter and scrap the muffler it comes with and just use the pipe...Also if i don't go turbo i remember seeing a mag article that dyno tested most of the headers on the market right now, i think it was in sport compact car but im not sure does anyone have this article,or know of a site devoted to single cams that might have dyno charts to show what parts add the most power??? thanks for all the great suggjestions
