like any modification, how much money are you willing to spend? what's your goal for the car? high horsepower, street build, fun, longevity?

i'm willing to bet the car will need general maintenance first which should be addressed prior to making things go faster! when was the timing belt and water pump done? a fast car is nothing if it doesn't run !

that's awesome you were able to find one of the eight cylinder versions! would definitely hold on to that

for serious performance ideas take a read through https://www.lextreme.com/ but outside of sound and appearance there's not much power to be gained with just simple mods
