Suggestions for quick easy power?
I told you this on IM but I'll repeat it here for the benefit of others:
Ground wires - I don't know about S13's, but if you take a look under the hood of an S14, there's like ONE ground wire to uprgade LOL
Cams - junkyard is the way to go for a cheap upgrade, but good luck finding a 91 in the junkyard with the head still intact (so far I've seen a bunch of S13s, but none with heads or engines LOL) and we live local so the junkyards you go to will probably be the same ones I've been to
Stuff not mentioned yet here:
Z32 fuel filter - did this mod to my car last week and it feels more responsive than with the old S14 sized filter... a lot of people say it is a good mod too, and not bad for $14
Iridium spark plugs - cost more than NGKs, but man do they respond. Last pretty damn logn too compared to regular plugs.
Cut the stock airbox - Arctic made a big deal of this (ROFL!) but hey it's cheap, easy, and works. I've got pics if you wanna see what I mean, IM me Brandon
Sorta related:
Brake fluid flush - Okay this has nothing to do with easy power, but it can help your car's overall performance. On a suggestion by Hyjynx, I flushed out my old brake fluid and replaced it with some Supertech and WOW big difference in pedal feel and braking response.

For an S14, the better overall cam setup would be to repin the 91 exhaust cam to fit as the 95 intake cam. Then just leave your stock exhaust cam on there and retard the timing 15 degrees.
so, 248/232 with -15 for timing. The guys at FA swear by that setup and I would to if I didn't get scammed on Ebay...

bring the #1 cylinder to TDC, lift the timing chain and rotate the sprocket to the left 15 teeth...or was it to the right? I forget and I don't feel like looking for the print out. I might be mistaken about the timing. I think I'm getting info mixed up with the 248/248 setup. I don't want another S14 to blow up so... go to FA and search "248/232 cams". I'm only 80% sure about the -15 degrees.
hrm....seems kinda sketchy.....ill do it if i find out EXACTLY how to do it......and when i do it....how will i get the pistons to move to TDC? and #1 is the closest to the radiator right?
