Right now my duster runs like a turtle in molasses, i wanna know what to do to make it not run so sluggish. I understand not to put alot money into a engine i don't want.
Other than making sure everything is in a good state of tune, there you go. You pretty much described a stock slant in good tune, though. I would simply live with what you have and spend the money on the V8 if that's what you're bound to do.
