Rebuild engine with performance goodies? upgrade exhaust while you are in there and either put smaller tires back on orrrrr regear

Why do you say GOD AWFUL 2.4? I love my 22re

Search around. can either buy lower gear sets or buy factory lower geared thirds from junk yard, etc. Yes, most likely 4.10s.

You need a new cat converter.
wouldnt hurt to set ignition timing to spec either
Heck, just rebuild her. 22re powered 2nd gens arent too common..and, IMO, awesome
