Go for the big 3. Cold air intake, Headers, and Exhaust.

There are a few things out there that will up your performance a bit......

Here are a few general ideas that can help your performance, if even only by a little bit (which may very well be unnoticable):
Intake
Header
Exhaust
Ignition
Pulleys
High-flow cat
Lighter wheels
Adjusting your throttle cable
and decals of course (+5hp per decal)

It all depends on what you like, have money for, and are willing to bolt/weld/glue on to your car. Good luck hookin' up your ride!

Thanks, I have the air intake and muffler so far. A couple days ago i tightened my throttle cable. This summer I will have more cash flow than i do now so now I know what to get.

Don't forget about those decals, they're the most important part.

Which decals give the most HP gain? How about them big "Fast and Furious" decals? Would that make it really fast?

That makes sense. I had this fat chick in the car and it got really slow. Then we had to pry here out.

You guys should know that the stickers with Calvin pissing on something give you the better aerodynamics for greater speeds.

Well to my understanding any sticker that states that your car is a Type R or has a VTEC engine will add around 7HP to your car even if it a dodge neon [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
