Only thing I did was get a K&N drop-in filter. Not much difference at all...although I think you did a good thing by putting the stock air box back on...it has some special stuff going on with air chamber size and pressure equalization which really gives this engine a torquey low end (unusually good power at lower RPM for such a small engine). I've thought about the T1R, and I think this would give the same response or better but is too much $$ for what you get in my opinion.

since your looking for major horsepower, why not just do a k20 swap?
