Welcome to the forum.

For more HP, first you need a fat wallet.

Then, you increase the air going in and air going out. Then you may need to modify the PCM tuning so it can deliver enough fuel to match the increased air flow. This all depends on how much of an increase you want.



Search the forums --the "modified 95-01" and "need for speed" sub forums have quite a bit of information and ideas.
