lightweight crank pulley is the only thing left for a N/A setup.
after that it's all about FI. there are lots of posts on this as well in drivetrain & power ....

theoretically, a torque dampener would help you translate your hp to your wheels better, and weight reduction throughout the car will give you less to pull around.

neither one of these suggestions actually give you more, but just make what you have more efficient.

that being said, it's still only a 100~ hp econobox, and I've never had any illusions about the xB as a _fast_ car.

Lightweight pulley is normally next. It's a mod you can feel.

i got to say that for me the combo of lightweight CP and the intake is where i felt the power... cause when i put the cp on i felt a mild difference having the 3 people feel like it was just me and then on the way home i noticed that acceleration is much faster. as compared to when i added the intake i felt like if i was pulling harder.

I think i messed up, putting the crank pulley on after getting I/H/E would free up the new power + stock= amazingness. or at least thats what i think would happen, but i dont know its just a hunch
