Still haven't got an MSS header. But I am hoping.
My car could use a little more power. For ideas on what can be done to an 8 valve N/A, there is site that is quite interesting. I am not up for going that far on modifications -- maybe a fatter exhaust and a cam -- but it does show what is possible.

One thing I did do recently is to put on some new (starts with an M) plug wires, the blue 8 mm ones. I had new stock plug wires. But this made a huge difference. I felt like I had an instant 10 hp gain: the throttle response was way up; I had power from 3000 to 4000 rpm (never really had much there before -- not since first got the car 10 years ago, anyway); It felt like an overall general power increase and the engine woke up. Before this I had put in a new electronic ignition unit, new coil, new plugs, cleaned the ground wires, etc. Everything worked well. It's just the (starts with an M) wires were the missing piece.
