Power will be made through new heads and cam. There's heaps of aftermarket gear available...your choice will depend on what you're planning on doing with the extra horsepower; drag racing, circuit racing, street, etc.

With cam selection for the street, don't go too lumpy or it will affect driveability...a lumpy cam will require a stall convertor if you've got auto trans.

Since you have the Torker II that means you have Oval Port heads. What RPM's do you want to make your power?
