for the cost of porting/bigger valves/ decking the head/etc. etc., you could just get a 2.0 and it would be faster stock.

a real intake and 2.25 exhaust will give you noticeable gains, other bolt ons like an underdrive pulley, aluminum flywheel will give you more, but at a price. IMO machine work isn't worth it if you are just using this as a winter beater
