Default Think my Supra is Super!

I recently purchased a 1989 Toyota Supra (non-turbo) and I could not be happier. I never thought I would buy a Japanese car but I'm glad I did. Not only does this thing chirp through every gear, it has all the comforts of a luxury car. The only real damage on the car was the hood which I replaced with one from the junkyard (1988). My car is black and the hood was silver so I planned to paint it, but the tu-tone has grown on me and I'm thinking of expanding on this theme. I'v done an oil change, full engine tune-up, cleaned the engine compartment and now I was wondering what I could or should do to improve horsepower. Would I be better off leaving the car stock? I was thinking of a new exhaust header? Any thoughts? Bye for now and thanks in advance

well...i wouldnt say a lot...i would say slightly, you'll get better throttle response and some more torque and power, since you have an n/a i say you should also go with new headers, this whole setup will not only allow your motor to breathe a lot better, but again u will have quicker response and a bit more power at hand
