Normal temp is around 190-210*, but the temp gauge in the car is a "dummy" gauge, it pretty much only reads 210.
Some good power bolt ons would be a lid, long tube headers, y-pipe and a good catback and a tune. Do a seach for anything else.

U can make horsepower with N/A, but like me natural aspiration just wasnt enough and now having a turbo i would never go back, look into forced induction...it will be work it
