I was just wondering if you could tell me about how much HP would be needed to drop the time on automatic FD about 1 sec? Or Mods? Don't know, just curious.
Thanks

 

I'm guessing that you'll need something comparable to M2's stage 2 mod. Check out m2performance.com for approx cost and hp and mod list.

 

Im Guessing A DP, Catback and Open intake - any thing you can do to get the Turbos to spool up faster - The first gear overall ratio is much taller than the 5 speed so you don't build rpms nearly as quickly on the launch. The advantage comes on the 1-2 & 2-3 upshifts, the AUTO maintains boost better during the shifts

 

The standard mods will work, as noted above. However, if the car is not a daily driver and you plan on doing alot of 1/4's, consider replacing the 3.91 to a 4.77 rear.
