I race on a round track with a 96 2.2L, anyone have any ideas on how to increase horsepower?

how cheap are we talking?

if you want some cheap gain just disconnect the stock intake hose and the catalettic converter. The only bad thing is its bad for the car and illegal.

Below $500 and I've already done away with the exhaust for racing exhaust (which is just straight pipe) and i have to run some kind of air filtration because the tracks we run are clay. I'm currently running a K&N air filter.

do you or any one you know have any machining skills? If so a port polish could help. I also think jet chips have one that will fit your car but personally i dont think their worth the few extra horses you get.
