also my car ia an 87 se

??? 87 SE????

yea its an 1987 se not gxl

the Gen II SE's were made until '88 (i think) then they were replaced by the GTU models for '89.

as for the original question ... horsepower is not CHEAP, :D and besides, cheap is a relative term. what's your budget and what type of power gains are you looking for?

your exhaust was probably the biggest ace up your sleeve in terms of power gains. (by the way, what exhaust are you running?) most other mods will net you better engine response but not a hell-of-a lot of horsepower.
off the top of my head ...
- switching to the '89-'92 intake manifold (porting and matching) - check the Gen II forum for more details on this
- throttle body (porting)
- GSL-SE fuel injectors (not to add power, but to support it)
- Pineapple Racing port sleeves
- lightweight flywheel (does not add power, merely absorbs less power than stock)

by ditching your EFI and switching to a carbie you can get a decent bump - but i wouldn't recommend it, i'm merely mentioning that the option is there.

i'd say look into streetporting and see if you'd be interested in that

ahh ok my exhaust is just basically my secondary cat back unbolted and taken off all i wan the car for is to drift

oh yah and it is an 87 se i got it from the origional owner i looked at the title gsl se injectors why? wat about factory turbo 2 ones if i upgrade in cc's would that cause a problem besides more fuel used??

ne other ideas?

you took off your clutch fan? this means you have a E-fan? i hope you do have a fan of some kind for your radiator, also search on the throttle body mod doesnt add power but better throttle response

how cheap is cheap? like under $100 or under $1000?

well thx alot for the input ne more ideas "pennie for ure thoughts"

Weight reduction which is free HP. Take out your front and rear bumper supports, move battery to the back, get a header, ram air scoop to cold air box and u should be in the mid 15s or so.
