    I wouldn't reccomend top gun leads... For reliability I always lean towards NGK spark plugs and leads. Just a matter of opinion I guess though.

    have a performance chip installed in the ECU to start with then work it as much as you want. Without the chip or a mod theres no point in even thinking about anything else.
    Once done chuck it on a dyno

    Will save you fuel and give you some extra kilawattage

    turbocharge it.
    twin t25's or vl t3's something cheap but good, on reversed cast(seires2) manifolds with steam pipe upturns and t3 fladges, run the dumps back into the single system(cheap) use a 2.5" exhuast cheap again
    run ford ba straight 6 injectors, walbro intank pump, nice 600x300front mount and enjoy life with 180rwkw odd.

    sounds like a tough way to make 180rwkw.........i would antipcipate a lot more than that if done properly (it would want to be too for the ****ing around)

    depends on the "amount" of boost you ram down it's throat. 19psi into a stock VR 3800 engine makes 273rwkw on a decent tune. (the secret is in the tune)
