Like I said, I'm broke lol

Without proper tuning from internal, this engine is time bomb. I wouldn't mess with engine mods at all... but that's just 2 cents. I'm also happy with where hp/tq is, I don't need any more power. Yes, I've test drove good amount of FI 86 & it was nice... but that's not something I'm looking for.

There are 3 major issues I'll be looking into & try to find my answers for this car... & heat issue is one of em.

I have always loved the rumbly sound of an old muscle car. My wife always says it sounds like they are about to cut out and die, but I love it. You can sort of hear the power waiting in the shadows, waiting on the gas pedal. The drum intro to this song pretty much nails it...

I love that sound too.. Makes it feel like you could mash the pedal and end up in China within seconds.
