I heard if you remove the plastic bits in the airbox you get ludicrous speed.

Buy smaller wheels for your car. Changing the gear ratios would help. Maybe add some gears to the transmission. Make sure your fluids are all topped off to make sure your car doesn't blow up. This should add to your torques.

Here is some hard to find blinker fluid.

You should add a couple more lines for "maintenance" and "frustration"

The graph is for all to use as they see fit!

i thought about adding a line for frustration but the scale would have been to big.

There are a lot of experienced people on here and know their car. Also bolt on parts are a waste of money, time, and effort. It's hard feeling even a slight of difference in anything you do to it.
True, I did give the advice rudely. Have you ever woken up feeling angry? Yeah, that was me
If you check my posts, I give some kind advice, or rude. It's the forum way of things. In the end, they either listen to it, take it to heart, or don't listen and get offended.
I've been poked fun of, flamed and called all sorts of names, but I'm mature enough to take all advice given, however it was given.
If you can't take the pain, then don't play the game

So in short all you want to do is get rid of the cat as it's the only thing short of forced induction or engine swap to make more power. Pulleys are useless. And some intakes even lose power. Exhaust gains are very little for a lot of money but can save weight.

Lighter parts for your car wheels suspension NOT a carbon fibre hood because your hood is already light. (Aluminum like the suicide doors) if you have a sunroof you can replace it with a carbon fibre one. Lighter seats I guess and if you really want to a lighter battery.
