Forced induction. (Nitrous injection or a turbocharger - no supercharger they won't fit). Tuned ECU (JET) - incresed redlined and fuel curve remapped. Keep in mind it's not jsut power that gets better track times (autox or full course), I'm not sure what you want it for but...Better braking and a finely tuned suspension will have a better bang for the buck for course racing. Think about it, you can run depper into the corners then brake hard versus doing it early. What good is it having a decent power increase if you still ave to take corners at the same speed as before? Anyway, I kind of went of subject but I hoped that helped.

I'm pretty sure that there is no one who makes superchargers for our cars. But as for a turbo charger, what would be a good one to get, and what kind of gains would you see with it? Intercooled or not? Someone many questions, eager to learn.

Anything to up your fuel or air will automatically help.

Get a V-AFC or S-AFC. That is actually better than the chip upgrade. The chip upgrade should always be the last thing you should do. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
