i know what a lot of you will say. Switch to a DOHC but there isn''t one anywhere near me and i want to mess with the SOHC for some odd reason. But is there any quick and easy ways to squeeze out a few more pony''s? And will cleaning the T/B help with anything?

cleaning the TB will only really help to prevent problems with idle, such as the butterfly valve getting stuck and runnning high RPM''s. I guess it would help alittle with flow, but nothing that youd really notice. Its just more of a good maintenance thing to do.

port out the trottle body, if you have a manual transmission get a cai, obx headers, 2.0-2.25 inch exhaust,replace your catalytic converter.wat year is your sl1? mine is a 1998 sl1 to get better acceleration i stripped my trunk and removed my a/c just basic weight reduction get rid of the things you dont need/use.go to streetdesignauto.com see what they hav
