Check with Mike Trower about getting a Superchips. Look in the Computer chips forum. You might also want to change the speedo gear to compensate for the taller tires.

well, in that case, the best thing to do is get some larger gear ratios in the rear end. But, if you can't afford that right now, then i guess a chip would be your best bet, and maybe an intake.
