So, I need some help

Ok well, I am new to trucks and everything, im very interested. Im 16, and I own a 87 yota pickup xtra cab 2.8 EFI. Is It worth putting money into the engine or am I going to even be able to get much hoarse power and torque from a 4-cyl. engine? Now this may be a totally moronic questio to all of you, but please help me out ! im here to learn! ha
thanks!!

Yes, so I have herd they are tough engines, but is it worth putting money into it, and if so, where should I start? What should I do? Any cool things would be appriciated, Ive been surfing the net for days now trying to get ideas.

Start by getting full coverage and burn the Yota and invest in a HEEP! j/k header, freeflow exhaust and intake mods etc etc

down with LC! go to engnbldr.com for your parts.

honestly with all the stuff ive done to mine, i could have put in a ford 302 for the same price with the same mpg and with twice the hp and tq.

if youre just looking to boost power and fun alittle, a pacesetter header is cheap and functional, conmbine it to a good free flowing exhuast, cam and intake mod and you'll notice the difference.
