It seems to me and please don't be offended, that you don't want to admit that your car is not what it once was when it was new. You've done all the "gimmicks" (cut lid, etc.) which can add a few HP, but that usually occurs when you do the major mods. There's no possible way that you'll be able to pump out over 300 horse without spending bucks. You'll need a good, non-restrictive exhaust, long-tube headers, cam, heads, etc. I know that you very much want to boost your power levels, but there are no quick tricks to gain that much of an increase. It can definitely be done, but you need to spend the money.

You can build crazy power with the L-98 TPI, even without forced induction or nitrous, etc. For example, my 85 pumps out about 500 horses and is 100% reliable. The way I got those levels was spending the all mighty dollar. It's now a 383 stroker, but everything under the hood and I do mean everything, is brand new. Not only is it new, it's been upgraded to the max. The MAF is now a MAP setup, the computer was replaced with a FAST setup and so on. Anything you want to do to your car can be done. You just need to open your wallet. I'm only telling you this because it seems you want to do what I did, but want to get there in a roundabout way. It cannot happen. All you'll do is make things worse. Trust me. Save your money until you can do the upgrades the correct way.

Please don't be offended by what I'm about to tell you because I am honestly trying to help. On this site, you can download a program called ieSpell. Once you download it onto your computer and run it after you're done each posting, it will check everything you've written and you won't have any more spelling errors.
