So you don't want to tear back into the block correct?

-A Tri-Y header in the place of the 4-1 ITR, which is already is a great header, can help.
-trying a different intake
-3 angle valve job

Or you can take it to a dynapack and call it a day w/ the higher reading.

1. They net similar performance gains, but the quality and resale value is not as high as the originals such as Hytech.
2. A velocity stack on the end of your intake can help, definently do not look for much of a gain in the intake category tho, but it would help in squeezing out the extra 10.

Now I've got a question or two for YOU!

Are you running a cat?

Your running stage 2's on stock gs-r compression, asides from the headgasket? I would say your on the bottom of the threshold on running those cams since you have a port job, I would personally be using stage 1's. Why did you decide to run stage 2's?

 

i wasnt sure and a friend of mine used them so i guess i threw em on which wasnt so smart.. i dunno much how cars but im willing to learn. so i have stock gs-r compression cause my block is stock right? and no im not running a cat

help this sucka out

 

somne help here ?

 

As already mentioned a better header, high flow cat, since your here in cali, larger throttle body, v-stack, and cam gear tuning. I don't know who ported the head but they should have done a 3 angle valve job already, but that depends on who did the work.
If you don't wanna rebuild the block, (bigger bore, higher CR pistons) you really don't have much more options to bump your HP, but you can always do suspension mods, which will help out a lot, remember, gaining HP is the only thing that makes a car quicker
