Anybody know any cheap mods that I can do to my motor to get it to go just a little bit faster???

I own a 1984 pickup with a 22r motor in it.

I just dont want to be dumping hundreds into the motor, I was more curious about cheap and easy mods to get maybe 10 hp or more total.

I agree with both. I put a Weber 36DGEV carb and an RV rated cam in my 22r and got tons more power. I went with the RV cam because it's power range is idle-4500. Much bigger and the power doesn't kick in until 1500 or higher. I only lost a few mpg with the carb, but got great throttle response off idle. My truck is 4wheel drive and in 4 low, it makes enough power to idle up incredibly steep hills with me out side "ridin' the whip" next to it. Not that that is what you'd be doing.
Visit Diverse-customs.com - metal fabrication, suspension, custom paint and body, from Street Rods to imports, and everything in between.

Fast, no; peppier, yes

There are a couple of companies that build parts for the 22r. They are good products but youd think the shit was made out of gold for the prices they charge.
