Smile Upgrade c36

i need some help to get some more power for my car. wut should i do?
i was thinking turbocharge but i haven't found the headers.
i just want some basic stuff that i can do to put more power in my c36.
i believe this car does not have 268hp. it feels like it has about 200hp.

you might want to do some basic maintenance, maybe theres something actually wrong with the car, just because you don't have a check engine light doesn't mean everything is working ok. Just hope you don't have a bad head gasket or wiring hareness (both are VERY likely on a 1995).

FYI, after my headgasket my car felt totally different, it pulls like a freight train and it even shows on the dyno. If you have steam coming out of the tail pipes or even alittle bit of mist you might have a headgasket on the way out.

the delicate gaskets were typical of all inline 6 motors of the era..

well i checked all over the engine and i had no oil leak, except little bit oil around the valve cover gasket.
i just install carbon fiber air intake. but it seems like it has same power.
is there any racing chip or something that make it faster? like my bmw i put a racing chip it made it faster and it gave me an extra 800RPM.

you are better off doing K&N airbox panel filer and my Silicone intake coupler than a ghetto intake.

Yes SpeedtuningUSA has a chip for our cars, Oliver said he would even do a stage 2 software for our cars w/ a higher redline of 7000. hope that helps.

after getting the ams headers and pulley you should reprogram it(chip it) and make it have a 7000 redline
