That right there cries pump those brakes... if you're not excited to roll up those sleeves and put in time, don't waste your time, money, and energy. You'll get frustrated quickly... even if it isn't issues with the standalone FI system itself.

Some of those CARB approved supercharger systems with a locked ots tune may be a possible contender, but still people are having to concern themselves with combating the heat, changing oil more frequently, whether their clutch will hold and last, or even just find yourself upgrading other components that are needing to compensate for the added power which themselves will require additional service.

I'm not saying don't boost this car. I'm saying don't boost this car if you absolutely need it to get to work in the morning and have no other mode of transportation... But you're right, his $
