Default How can i make it faster

I gotta 92 Hatch just striped it, its all show no go. body kit rims lowered new paint carbon hood. and just took the 600 lbs outta the backseat/trunck and i feel no significant increase in speed at all. I need to know what type of engine swap or head swap i should do (its a 1.5 sohc) so yea its real slow. Can anyone tell me what the cheapest way to make it go faster?and other than cheapest forget price and whats the easiest swap to do into it. Its auto and I am turning it over to standard. Thanks for any help you can give

Bullshit.

anyway, swap in an LS motor (b18b) and turbo it. That could put you in the 12s on the stock block if done right

very ture, what is removable that can save you 600lbs from a hatch? that's a lot, not to mention that if he had removed 600lbs, you would have felt one hell of a speed difference. I can tell if my car is faster when I save 20 lbs, you can't pull 30 times that and not feel a significant increase.

what the hell did you remove that was 600 lbs? were you carrying around a home gym in the back? even if your car was severly underpowered you would notice a big change after removing 600lbs. one guy on here COMPLETLY stripped out his interior and he saved what like 130? and i mean completly stripped, all that was left was the drivers seat and the dash.

like what he said before...its all show, no go. So he probably has a shitload of sound system, lightings, and tv's. Still not all of it is 600lbs.
