Message	I know this is probably asked all the time, and believe me I've been struggling with what to do for a long time now. Anyway.... I have a 1991 NA 2+2 with 36,000 miles on it. I love it and don't need it to be 800 horse power, but I also would like it to be.... not slow. My main problem is low end power, or acceleration. The question is will intake, exhaust, down pipes, ecu upgrade and headers make that noticeable of a difference? Or is my only real option engine swap or turboing the NA engine? I personally like the idea of adding turbos and everything that goes with it to the NA, just because I know it's in great condition already, and again, I don't need it to be super fast, I just don't want it to feel slow compared to my Maxima and Murano. The Maxima, sure, but the Murano smoking it is embarrassing.
