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.

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.
