Mx-3

I have a 92 mazda mx-3 and would like to get more performance from the
engine it has the double OHC engine/5 speed trans. Any help on this
question I would really enjoy. Thanks.

It has been wisely said before (and, regrettably, I did not make this
up): The best performance investment is competition driving school.

Well he did specify he wanted better performance from the
engine, not from the car.

Absolutely true, but when you come out of that perfectly executed corner
that you learned to do and come onto the straight and begin the LONG
crawl to 100+ mph, (compared to 10-15 pounds of boost), the desire for
more power becomes very understandable.

Of course, if the goal is simply drag-racing, I would go with another
car, though it is kind of nifty to see the worried looks on Mustang and
Camaro driver's faces when I keep up with them from light to light in a
little 4-banger.

One asked if I had a V-8, I just told him that it is a 1.8 liter and I
didn't mention the turbo.
I don't think that many people understand power-to-weight ratio, for
most it seems to be all horsepower and *maybe* torque numbers to them.

Very good point. For all we know, this person could an instructor at a
driving school. Not likely, but possible.
As you pointed out, there was no question on how to improve the OP's
driving abilities, only how to improve engine performance.
