what kind of clutch do you have? Do an aluminum flywheel when you change it. It cuts down on the rotating mass. My car is the same way though. Its like it has it down there, but yet it doesn't.

There aren't any free mods that are going to give you the power you are looking for. Gears, flywheel, and cam will all give you want you are looking for. Or you can get a shot of nitrous if you want instant hp....
