Default What Next For xA?

So far i have the following

AEM Cold Air Induction
DC Ceramic Header
DC Axleback Exhaust
Perrin Short Shifter
Perrin Pulley
TRD Clutch Kit
GroundFusion GroundWire Kit

My goal is to max out the potential of my xA w/o turbo or super charging it. Or no nitrous. What should i do next to speed it up?

weight reduction wherever you can. passenger seats, spare tires, and all that jazz are just overrated might want to try some light weight 15s or 14s as well

fix a flat, lol..nah I don't ever take me spare out either except if I go to the track. I would say go with a catback, and then place your focus else where from performance. I guess in a few months/year there will be performance piston sets and such for a n/a build and you could rip apart the block etc, port polish.

where can i find the Jun Flywheel for a decent price? So far i have it at $395 + ship and im hoping it can be found lower. Also i plan to gut the back and make it a 2 seater eventually so weight shouldnt be an issue.

Personaaly, I would ditch the AEM intake and go with one of the INJEN intakes. I would try the short ram w/ the filter heat shield covering the half facing the header.

What he said ^ INJEN makes an awesome product, cant beat it for the money. Upgrading the suspension wont speed you up but it can pay dividends in controlling what ya got. definatly go with the full catback exhaust 2 or 2.25 in (right?). I dont know what kind of gains there are with the CamCon, but its something to look into. good luck with the buildup, at least you have an aerodynamic advantage over us toasters

what about taking the bottom 1/2 off the AEM and tossing on a heat shield? I spent way too much on it to replace it so early. Ive also decided to get a CF hood to lighten it up. And im looking into removing the back bench and getting it custom done so it looks nice but i dont know what it would run. As far as aerodynamics im the idiot who has the LJ Garcia Widebody kit which i presume is less aerodynamic and a sheer waste of $$
