Intake, weight reduction, (depending on your creature comfort to all-out-speed ratio)
and search the threads, esp the archives.

10 years, huh? wow- I would be leary of a motor that has been sitting that long- make sure you get a compression check and do all the other 12k stuff (wires, plugs, fluids, etc.)

all this is covered in the stickies and archives. There is much to learn here- Good luck, and keep 'em spinning!

Make sure you change EVERY fluid that has been sitting in that car and ANYTHING made of rubber under the hood

like fuel lines they tened to root near the fuel filter, and most fuel pumps tend to quit working arfter sitting for a long time. o and the air filter could be a home for a mouse (your new pet)
