The problem will be with getting the computer to function properly with the larger throttle body. It isn't as easy as the old carburaters. Everything on a computererized engine is carefully matched and balanced.

There are a couple things that you might be able to get by with to increase power a little without a complete computer system replacement, for example, you might be able to put on headers, increase the compression by no more than one point and go to a SLIGHTLY more aggressive camshaft. Anything beyond that will cause problems, but be careful with the camshaft, that can be trickey.
