NO NEED TO SHOUT!
a. Make sure that everything is working right (injection, exhaust, no worn cam lobes, tight chain, good compression, etc.) b. Look for a euro engine (higher compression, mildly hotter cams) c. swap in a 500 or 560 engine

Going the budget route? Put someTechron in the high test, and check out the threads on "XP33."

Has your 380 been converted to a dual row timing chain yet?
