Cleaning it.

Larger injectors, 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor, different spark plugs.

I have no idea how much power those really add but without an intercooler it might make the air charge pretty toastly. Possible that a meth kit would be a good idea. Then a custom tune.

Ditch all the crap whipple electronics and aux injectors and install upgraded main injectors and get a real tune. Putting a intercooler setup on it will be a pain in the ***.

Forget the intercooler and just add meth. Those setups were lacking majorly in design.

I actually love that blower, had it on my SS before it got stolen.

Add a custom intake elbow and an intercooler, and some injectors.

Best of both worlds, whine with a cool factor of a FMIC.

Check these two threads out, you will get the idea hopefully. The one thread of the OBS, basically instead of routing the piping back to the intake manifold, you can route any ol front mount intercooler, and call it a day.

Gonna take some fabrication, but nothing crazy. IS it worth it? Depends who you ask.
I did it, and had never seen anyone else do it, sadly my truck was stolen the week i was doing the install so i have no pics.
