The 1 thing that the FAQ doesn't mention regarding our engine is that installing even a stage 1 cam can cause noticeable improvement.

However, using the Search feature is an entirely different scenario. The topic has been covered many, many times.
Since he already has a header, intake and exhaust, just tossing the cam in there would give it a little more umph.
Not sure how he managed to get 132whp horsepower with only a header, exhaust and intake, though. Hmmmm...

I/H/E + Stage 1 cam = 125 WHP ~ 143.75 assuming 15% powertrain loss, that was on stock ECU with a cat. I'm half way there now, need H/E.

best way to get more pwr would be a swap / build + turbo.
I had been through with all boltons and tune, as well as turbo. ended up doing a k swap.

The D17 handles a 75 shot of nitrous quite well. Kpro and a good tune is also a great mod.
I'd be interested in details on how you came up with your hp/tq numbers.....
As for the D16Y8 manifold swap it is possible although it takes some work. I'm running one on my D17A2. The head is not interchangeable. The oil passages don't line up.
