midpipe and / or AccessPORT tuning are your best bets.
Nitrous works well
Other then that, FI is your only real option for major gains.

I have headers, catless midpipe and catback, for maximum exhaust mods.
Then I put the stupid/cheapo/badly designed/critically flawed and inadequate Greddy turbo on.
Even before tuning, it blew away every other mod I've ever done, x 10.
There is no substitute for FI......

Do you really NEED anything? I could drive my beater every day, but I don't.
I suggest you spend about a hundred hours reading up on the car through FAQ/Massive information posts available on this forum. In the end, you will be more knowledgeable, save thousands of dollars, and wind up with a better running, more reliable, faster car than if you don't.

See you ask for suggestions about 'best HP gain' but you know nothing of FI....if I were you, I'd scurry off and find out all about this 'FI thing'......
Maxx's point is that if you don't read what we have already written, but ask the same questions again, you will be ridiculed.
Mercilessly.

I have. I started reading up on Rx-8s in maybe 2003 sometime after the first prototypes but before production. I finally bought mine in 2006 after I had graduated college and gotten a job. Before I bought my turbo kit, I read no less than 3 books regarding the matter. 1 of which, Corky Bell's Turbocharging, should be readily accessible to you more or less regardless of modding experience. I have read the tech articles on here from Rotarygod from yesteryear. If MM or CRH puts more than 100 words in a post, I probably read that as well. This is all on top of a fairly strong technical background. There is no substitute for knowing what you are doing other than absurd amounts of money.

I hardly post as you can see cause most of the answers and knowledge are already located all over this site. Just do what i've done for the past year play catch up and read. good luck with your choices I hope you take the time to research before jumping right in with mods.
