Is there a way to get more torque? I'm having trouble going uphill with my 97 5sfe engine.

do you have any exhaust mods???

if you get a bigger zorst you'll lose some bottom end.

that happened to me, but its a little more evened out now after i put in a high flow filter.

supercharging is best for low to mid range torque.

Any less expensive solution? Turbo and supercharger costs 2-3k, don't have that kind of money right now. Plus, I'd only get areound 180 hp with it, I'd rather save up and get another engine with wat least mid 200 hp and add turbo or super charge it.

take and clean out your spark plugs, map sensor, maybe a new oxygen sensor or some stupid sensor like that, maybe bad gas? how long since your last oil change? if u have one of those stupid short ram intakes thats prob why your havin problems, either chop a hole in your hood and get some ram air goin on or get a cai

My last oil change was on September, I've only driven about 700 miles. I have stock intake, waiting for AEM to come out with CAI. Where is the map and oxgen sensor located?
