Default lack of power mid range

is there anyway to increase the horsepower levels on a 82 616? ive been tinkering with the vehicle for about 2 years now and finally have some things modified to increase the acceleration, i live in a very fast paced town, so i would enjoy the additional power from my 240 so thati can halfway keep up with traffic.

as it stands, im in the process of getting an air switcher for the transmission, an addition of a high and low on the output shaft, so that instead of the 4 speed, 8. the same shop wants to do a complete teardown and rebuild of the motor, then put some serious boost, looking at probably a 90 trim turbo...aiming high, also, would it be more beneficial to have propane injection or water injection, something along those lines?

my final goal for the vehicle is to be pushing about 323 horsepower on a 616 motor. not alot, until you consider what motor its on.

any help is greatly appreciated when it comes to this.



i found out that i can put a gt28r on my 616 after i do an engine rebuild and what not...something like ummm 25psi, ya think that will help with my power problems????
already planning on doing extra injectors through the intake. so yeah...
good idea or bad??? anyone?
