more power...ideas?

Any other mods I can get to gain straight-line speed and still be N/A? I've got UDP, Frankencar intake, Y, Cat, B-pipe, 2K muffler. The only things I can think of are reducing weight, flywheel, and Hyperground Wires. ECU is out...darn you, JWT! Anything I'm missing that I might could do relatively inexpensively? Thanks.

Throttlebody?
CryO2?
Lightweight Rims?
LSD for launches?
Extrude?
Cams?

Ok, starting to talk more $$ but you've got most of em covered.

P.S. Wait another couple months

Can you explain what you mean by throttle body? I cleaned the throttle body and I have the midpipe, but do you mean replacing it with aftermarket? And what do you mean by "extrude" and by wait a couple months?

Thanks for responding.

MEVI like Dev said for #1. TB - yes either replacing or boring out the stock one a bit. Extrude Honing the intake system could help a little but usually not worth the $. As for the wait, I meant other stuff coming this summer. I'll post when I figure it out myself.

Does anyone think that hypergorund wires really work? I don't see how you can expectmore than maybe one or two hp from a slightly hotter more powerful spark.

you are 5sp, get a better clutch maybe? More grip, also how is your b-pipe custom? What did you do to it?
