Short of replacing or rebuilding the motor, which I just finished doing, does anybody know of a way to get more power out of my 720 series pickup? It has a z24 4-cylider engine. It takes me quite a while to get up to freeway speed, and on a straightaway it tops out at barely 85. I'm not looking to drag race it or anything, I just want some more power out of it. Thanks.

Weber carb, upgrade your ignition(coil, wires, plugs), shave your head, port & polish, up your octane, synthetic oil, e-fan, better exhaust, possibly a different intake manifold.

Those are the basics I usually start with. You would be surprised how much better your engine will run.

I dont remember the specs but I do know that you cant shave much at all off of the head, and porting gets you limited results because of the design. The weber carb and removing all of the smog *&%#% will get you a noticeable increase.
