On a TPI set up, your limited unless you want to go hot cam. The TPI needs porting and a whole host of items to really give it a kick.

Best bang for the buck is going to be to spray that puppy with a dose of the laughing gas and call it a day. You can go big bucks with forced induction.

let me edumacate youNO2 just speed up the comustion process by adding more o2 and an oxidizer to your combustion chamber, so it is safe in small doses but if your looking for a bigger hit than 50HP your going to need to retard the timing to compinsate for the hotter more lean mixture you going to be running.
simple answer: it will not blow anything up if used correctly it is very safe and makes a LOT more power for cheap
