Help!

What can I do to make my RX-8 faster than a stock 07 Mustang? I just have a K&N drop in filter. My car is a 2005 Shinka.

Get off the dragstrip and take him through some corners! or sell your car to somebody who will appreciate it for what it is because if you think an RX8 is about drag racing then so God help you.

Search around a little. You will see that bolt ons do almost nothing. The only way to get real power gains is with a turbo.



edit - I like Kane's idea better. sabatoge the ford

I brought my car to a man named Lucius Fox. He hooked me up really nice. Onboard computer, armor plating, tied me into Oracle and the Hall of Justice. Asked me to say hello to Alfred too.

To the OP: I've been told that every time you use the search function your car gains 5 ft/lbs of torque across the board. I suggest you try it and see for yourself

If you want to beat a muscle car in a drag race, you bought the wrong car.

What you really need to do is remove the stock air intake box, insert a bag of sand and start cranking the car and start her up. The sand will port and polish the housing/heads/piston rings and give you a larger displacement area. Depending on the grade of the sand *I use 20g* you will get upwards to 100 HP and 95 TQ. That's enough to beat the pants off any Mustang.

Wow, seems like I upset a few of you. So what you nerds are trying to say is that it will never happen. That's all you needed to type. Thanks.
