N/A cowl induction?

just something i have been museing about. would it make enough of an improvement to be worth it? dont want to go to all the expense of going to a full on turbo system. especially since i almost never tow.

Find a used turbo kit. I found mine for $500. Even a few PSI will make a real difference in how it feels. It will also help your fuel economy when running higher in the revs.

Cowl induction won't be noticeable, really. It won't hurt, but it also won't give you noticeable levels of power.

As long as you have the factory cold air tube to the core support the difference would be negligible i would think. Also you have the benefit of not having to unhook it every time it rains or snows.
