Everything about this post is just hilarious, if you wanted a Straight line fast car that you could "pass" SRT-4's with you bought the wrong car.

Exhaust: $500-$900 bucks 2 -3 RWHP
Intake: $300 - $550 2 - 3 RHWP
Changing Maps using a new ECU Manager: $800 - $1400 -7 - +10 RWHP

If you want huge gains you are better off saving up for a blower or just you do out your suspension and have a good Auto Xing car. Cause realistically speaking you won't do crazy quarters without boosting.

From what i've read on this forum, The 8 is faster than the 6, dead even with rxs-s and faster than the s-2000 up to 60, after that the s-2000 slowly takes the lead and passes the 8. If you know how to drive the 8 it feels mush faster than it is and will leave most other cars in it's dust. Especially if the course requires some manuverablity.

i think our cars are dead even with the s2k, quicker than the rsx-s, and faster than the 6....but if you get a good launch against an s2k youll probably take it by a bumber, not much also depends on how good of a driver you are and how much you know your car.
