What performance upgrades can I put in my NA?

I'm wondering what else I can put in my car since its not a turbo to make it faster. So far I have a lightweight flywheel, Grant Club Sport 452 steering wheel, Racing Beat ignition wires, and a Racing Beat Dual exhaust. Anything else I can do?

Not really. Full standalone and a lot of tuning, custom intake manifold and such.

Like BunnyBunny [Hambone] said, tuning.. If you can't afford a stand alone, you can either save up or look for a used SAFC, and get some basic fuel tuning there. If you get the SAFC, search for the writeup on using the pressure sensor instead of the TPS, it should be more reliable.. [It's just tapping a different wire]

If you don't care about fuel economy, I'm told you can also twist the CAS a little for a little better power.. [Search]

How's your suspension? Wheels/Tires? These make a huge difference.. I'm faster in a straight line than my friend's FC, but he's got wider wheels and better tires..

Ehh.. $35 more though, and if you install them correctly there shouldn't be any issue. Not to mention Rob designed these ^_-

No one's willing to go through the expense to find out exactly how much you gain, but my car pulls much better up top than my friend's.. [I have Pineapple inserts, he doesn't]
