lay down a spike strip on the lane next to you.....works every time. but for real bang for buck (CAI,Header,Exhaust,N2O)
id goe with the ZEX 50hp shot( the internal computer of the unit monitors the AF ratio so ALWAYS at optimal) or get the Venom vcn-1000 a bit more cash but you fully control how you spray.....youll have the same power increase as boosting without the full time worrys that come along with it

Until they come out with a better tranny with a different over-drive gear we are stuck to about 80 mph (4k rpm's) on the highway.
I agree with ss though, I wish the 1st gear didn't tach-out so darn quick.

I have heard that putting in a lightweight flywheel and pulley will help make the car "quicker" but it will be difficult to keep the engine revs up when shifting and durring Idle. Is there some way to compensate for this with throttle settings and such?

suspension mods would help to go faster in the corners. Um, I've seen a box with a header, intake, and exhaust...it seemed to move along pretty good. A definite improvement over stock.

Every lil bit of weight removed from the car will help but were not talking significant gains...you would hafta lighten the car up a couple hundred pounds for the car to feel quicker to you...heres one that nobody tried...if your fat go on a diet and loose some weight...theres some simple weight reduction for ya

This is my favorite part:
based upon some of the questions I have had asked, be prepared to sign a long liability waiver.

Take everything inside out that you do not need. Carpet back seats all the sound deading stuff everything. I saw a an old Nissan Sentra or something that they made into a low 13 sec car without touching the engine or power train.

The cheapest mods you can do first are to : change the intake , either an axleback exhaust or if money permits do a full catback. A hi-flow cat may be in order too. Next try one of the many headers out there. Then to get into the real hp gains go for a supercharger or a turbo. You can keep going in deeper and deeper in debt if you like. More power more money.
