These motors are not built with HP in mind, but rather ECONOMY. From what I hear, the best gains can be had with engine swaps.... I.E. B Series or K Series.
Moolah($) is the only way to get good HP numbers!

Nitrous is more for short spurts of hp gains.
If you want constant, seek out forced induction or swap

If you want to add big power you have to spend big coin!! The words cheap and power dont go together. Supercharger/ Turbo/ Nitrous/ engine swap!!
