An exhaust would help, but it's a bit pointless trying to make an NA 3L fast. Save your money for a turbo or V8 conversion... or better yet a turbo V8 conversion Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Injected 8 is the way to go, and if you went auto the cost isn't too bad Buy something like this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Holden/auction-137160232.htm?key=59519) and slap all the gear in your car Or sell yours and buy this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Holden/auction-139314660.htm?key=59519)

But the other thing I was gonna say is, 4 cents/L is only gonna change a tanks worth of gas by a few dollars, I don't care about it (the 60 cents it's gone up since i started driving a few years ago is what makes the difference)

I started driving my own car/paying for gas in 2004 (when I was 16) and I'm sure I remember it being $1.15 or $1.16 the first time.. didn't stay there for long so I havn't actually noticed much of a change in cost Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
