Ok, so my 76, 2.0L is kind of boring now. It moves a little but still cant keep up with my buddies 1910cc Bug with Dual Carbs. I dont want to go the whole V8 route on it, just add some more torque and get it a little snappier. Any idea's on what I can do with the existing motor? I really dont want to change the fuel injection. Perhaps exhaust? Ideally I would be willing to throw another $2-3k into it.

Signed,
