Basic 318 Mods

Car is totally stock. Probably a good dual exhaust system would be first thing
not if it was mine.
your stock 318 will not outrun the single exhaust with 2.76 gears, until screaming in top gear at/or near the torque peak, which translates to 77 mph or so..... unless it has been crushed, or the Y-pipe was welded up poorly.
But, if that's where you want to start, I've said my piece.
