i have actually looked into this and a short ram intake adds 8hp and 10.2 ft/lbs of torque on this motor, i have not read anything on the header yet to see if it's worth the hassle of swapping it or not. so if there was a gain of 18ft/lbs of torque that will help a little for sure. i personally would drop in an sr20det if it were up to me. this truck will not be used to haul anything really heavy, just a home depot truck i guess and matbe towing small cars home, like my hatch. i know on my hatch i can piece together a turbo kit for $300 using stock parts from other cars and i might look at the same for this. i would love a little turbo on my hatch to give it a little more juice, but my SI is the one that would get a real kit.
