Details on your car? also, I suggest waiting on buying anything until you research it a bit more, always sucks to buy stuff you can't use.

I'd say stick with anything below 50 (make sure it's a wet system) you can safely run more if your car is fine tuned, but I'd still stick with 50

90 n/a and you want it to be a "street racer?"

You shoulda bought a 350 Camaro....

My 7 dominates at AUTOCROSS or on the track, but can only beat a pre-1999 stang GT on the streets...


Dre '90 NA w/mods

You should look into a header. You'd get more of a gain from that than the N1.

$1450!!?!?!

OMG get this : http://www.mazdatrix.com/r-ex86nt.htm

$1235 + S&H will get you a TWENTY-EIGHT PERCENT, lemme repeat 28% increase in power.

That is the best system for a N/A. OK, the dyno they have is a little biased (since the car had clogged cats to begin with etc...) but it's still around a 20% increase

Makes sense
Get the exhaust mentioned above and maybe intake. You can also do some "free" mods by doing work yourself, but i don't know how you'd feel about that.

A Supra cannot make 1100 hp with bolt-ons. Unless it has a turbo the size of my head that has like 5 secs of turbo lag. Or he bolted-on a fully built engine.

Hmm Speed/Ricer Shops have good info on putting euro lights on cars as well as body kits. Well even if it IS possible it would be no fun to drive on the street at all. By the time your turbo kicks in your opponent would be long gone and they would just be thinking your doing a sore loser flyby.

A Supra engine with just bolt-ons producing enough airflow to keep a 5 gallon size turbo from lagging..... right.

F@!#in 6's. Any chance you have a vid or time slip of that run. I highly doubt he runs a 6sec 1/4mile. Maybe the 1/8mile but with 1100hp I can't even see that in the 1/8th because of lag. Are you sure it was a 6sec or 16sec?
