Dude I totally heard that if you put in an M52 engine it really picks up some decent horsepower and torque.

You can also run a performance chip... What engine are you talking about?

Im sure there are a ton of threads on here for performance adders.
M20 bolt on.
First off ya a diff dosnt make your engine make more HP it makes better use of the HP you have. Or worse if you go the wrong the wrong way.
The M20 is pretty tweaked as is so bolts on's dont do much.
As noted above a chip will do wonders. Seat of the pants noticable.
A maf swap is a great way to go the stock barn door meter is terrible.
I like and run the miller MAF and WAR chip and like it cause it uses the stock ECU
If you buy a cold air intake and keep the stock AFM make sure you keep the velocity stack with it or you will lose power.
Just a few ideas
Oh and search around I am sure you can find plenty of info.

A 4:10 lsd would improve your acceleration quite a bit.
