So tell me just how much will it cost to make a 2.3L noticed when it moves, I will tell, TOO MUCH!!!! It is incredibly rediculous to drop a lot of money and still not get the performance desired or expected for how much was spent.

Oh, and as for bucks/knowlegde. I have never in my entire life worked on cars untill this past year. I have only spent $500. And if a person doesn't care about better performance the EZ way then why the hell are they even posting to get help on making more hp with a n/a 2.3L which is almost next to impossible to modify where it is worth while.

I have Racer Walsh's catalog, and you could buy cams, larger valves, pullies, headers, etc... To get what maybe 130-140hp ha, and I bet you would spend more than $500 just trying to get to those numbers. I had the choice to spend money on either making the 2.3L a 140hp beast (LOL) or wait and get a 2.3L turbo which makes 200hp stock. I chose the 2.3T, who wouldn't. And I did the entire
swap my-self without any prior experience.
