It doesn't help that the D-series rods are toothpicks, so that is a huge mechanical restraint to more boost.

2 things i thought i'd point out....
1. the car is Auto (Just wondering how much HP the torque converter can handle)
2. Red, how many cars/engines have you been through? (just a little "Heavy footed")
just thought they should be filled in before giving advice...

I pointed out your car was auto so they would understand its limitations.
I also pointed out how many cars you have been through because its obvious you can be hard on a car, so they would have better info reguarding what is safe horsepower and what you will likely kill your car with.
As I mentioned, a pulley kit is "safe" horsepower since you are not pushing parts to their limits like with NOS.
Also a short ram intake (like the one I made you) is fairly safe since it only eliminates restrictions, A cold air intake is better, but I know how you like to play in the rain, so this was a safer bet for you.
