Re: questions....

A 6spd conversion would only make sense on a close-ratio tranny. If you did it on
a wide-ratio tranny, you'd end up with a 6th gear that was basically the same as
your 5th gear.
To make an 8v (JH, I assume) go faster: shave the head down a bit, port and
polish the intake, bigger throttle body, K&N, header or dual outlet
manifold/downpipe setup, high flow or no cat, depending on where you are, good 2"
exhaust, G-grind cam. This should net you about 130bhp, I think, if done right
and the engine is in good shape.
