![]() Underdrive pulleys and a cold air kit would help. Gears would be a big improvement but are a lot of work to install (or expensive if you have someone do it for you).

![]() look to the V-6 board for help in this problem. Besides having very limited HP you have gear ratio, weight of convertable, and a few other things going against you. The V-6 verts are for show only, unless you start adding blowers or major modifications. Sorry, but you aint burning tires for an extra $200.00 !

![]() should've got a 4.6 then you could roast the tires.
