PA Hp for 86 na

What is the easiest way to get hp out of the !986 na GXL. I already have a corksport catback and a k and n intake. I plan on getting the corksport header and mid pipe, but is there anything else that would give me more hp?

You've already covered the largest easy power gains.

After that you are into things like porting and a standalone.

In the mean time, an S-AFC to control the basic fuel curve can have a significant impact if you know how to tune it properly.

Figure a 20% gain for a street port. Stock drivetrain parts should be fine.

Of course, it involves disassembling the engine...

Oh yeah I know it involves disassembling the engine. I was just wondering because I don't want to do a turbo conversion to the new engine I'm getting and I was reading up on porting and it sounds like something I want to do. I talked to a mechanic at KDR Performance and if I bring him the plates I can get all the porting done for $300. And to 86naRX7, I have no idea about the Maryland BBQ, haha. Inform me?
