Need More Performance!
Need More Performance!
Well the track is about to open up this year in new jersey at englishtown, and Im trying to get ready for street wars and upcoming events but I think I met the max potential in my car now as far as power with the mods I have, I WANT MORE. I have Hotshot Headers, UR UDP, Jet Chip(bs),Custom 2.5" Exhaust,Modified Injen Intake,engine breather, What else should I get. I ran 13.8 at the track last year with all those mods and drag radials but shifted at 6000rpm. I was thinking technosquare ecu,nismo cams,some new spark plugs. What else do you think I should get guys for more performance to try to max out all the NA POWER I can get. Thanks....

Stiffer motor mounts, TS L-Spec, cams, and a higher flowing intake manifold are also things you could look into.
I would also say a lighter flywheel would help, but I don't wanna start that argument again since no one has proven gains in the 1/4 with a lighter flywheel yet. At least, no one that I know of.

Definately dyno it and see what the AFR is. If you haven't dyno tuned it with something like an Apexi S-AFC2 you are most likely running really rich in the upper RPM range with those mods.
I picked up around 14 HP and 13 pounds of tourque by dyno tuning. That was with just an intake and Y-pipe/B-pipe. When I tuned again with the headers it was still rich even though it was being leaned out. Doing intake and exhaust mods can really confuse the computer and cause it to run too rich and lose power.
The light weight flywheel is pretty cool too. It revs up really fast. I noticed the difference in acceleration as soon as I installed it. I had an issue with the aftermarket clutch and had to pull everything back out and reinstall the stock flywheel for a while. The car felt sluggish and heavy after removing the light one. Sort of like driving with people in the car.

what everyone has said +
1. Get the lightest wheels you can find. (you can't imagine how important it is)
2. Stand alone ECU (with professional tuning specifically for your setup)
3. ES bushings & motor mounts (from sportcompactonly.com)
4. Stage 2 LTB (or Stage 1 if you're worried about crash safety)
I also heard that some people use Pathfinder throttle body... but this one's just a rumor.
