Save your money. Your only going to be spending more in the end. But if you must, Is it carborated, or FI...?

Swap? Swap what? Carbs? Motor? Cars?

A performance carb can give a little boost in power, but do your homework on the different setups first. You can swap to a b-series engine if you want, but you'll probably have to get custom mounts since Place Racing doesn't make them anymore. And if you did the swap, you would also need to convert your car over to EFI. There's also a JDM B20 that shouldn't require motor mounts. I recently heard that there is a carb'd JDM(?) motor that you can swap in, but I don't know anything about the motor or even what the swap would entail.

Whatever you choose, just know that you shouldn't expect much unless you do a motor swap or forced induction. If you plan to keep the stock motor, than you can get: drop-in air filter, header, exhaust, and maybe a cam... not sure if anyone still makes one. Of course there always suspension mods as well.
