What should I do, save for 4agze?, making a '94 st fast? Options

[scarface203]

Hi- Im new at this so im not a 100% on how to write one of these things. Alright heres my problem... I bought a '94 st w/ 92k miles on it. Ive noticed that it doesnt have as much "pa-zas" as i hoped for, and Ide like to give it some more power . As you probably know there arnt that many bolt on parts for the 7A-FE, so should i save for an engine swap or just put an intake and cat-back exhaust, ect.?...Ide like a 3sgte(but unless hell freezes over thats not going to happen) so i would probably opt. for the 4a-gze or 4a-ge. Ive heard the 4agze is better for dragging, and thats what im interested in. And since i have an ST, would it bolt up to my stock tranny. I know that the stock tranny might not be able to handle the boost, so would a new beefy clutch help this problem, and make it so my tranny will last? and for how long? Another thing Ive been dwelling on is the cost? What is a desent ball park figure, if i dont get ripped off, for the GZE vs. GE-assuming i use the stock tranny for each one. Also what will happen w/ my insurence- Ive heard that it will go up a ton- and ive heard i dont even need to report the swap.(so i need that cleared up too ) I would like to be able to beat most every Honda, Integra, and Eclispse(what my friends have) i come up against and even bigger and better things Thaks for the Help I really appriaiate it (i didnt get an A in spelling class either)

if you factor in an average power-train loss, the stock ST is most likely putting in the neighborhood of 83-86 FWHP. with around a 18-23% power-train loss, which is a little on the favorable side, and if your motor has been worn it probably is making a little less. the earlier models (with 115 BHP) would be more around 92FWHP.
