You'll have to go turbo if you really want to make any power out of that.

Swap that Z1, it's nothing but a gas saver motor. If you want real power off of a D series, I recommend going for a D16Z6, D15B, or a D16Y8.
Don't bother with the Z1.

x2, for what you would spend to make enough power to get up a hill in 2nd gear you could buy 37 d16z6's.
