Things I have on the car that think that would make some acceleration differences:
ACT Flywheel and clutch
17" wheels with 255 azenis 615
Feed final gear
Re amemiya LSD
Revi
Pullies
JIC Full ti exhaust
Tein flex??
Recaro seats (weight savings??)

Only thing that I could think of that would slow the car down:
Bodykit.

There is one thing I've noticed though. My CEL came flashing on a few times now (even prior to the gear installs). And recently, my friend noticed that theres a smell of gas in the cabin which I didnt notice before. Im going to try and pull the CEL code tonight and see what code it brings up. From some friends' advise, they say either the car is running too rich or the cat is dying or both. After I pull the CEL code, I will do a PCM reset and probably try some runs again.

Get the RB flash!!!
Well I havent put my car on a dyno to see where it's power band is, but most cars ive run with seem to not gain any ground on me all the way to the 9700 area so I'm guessing im putting down good power all the way to the end. Also when I shift I find my self landing in the 7100rpm area with slow shifts (for my trans sake) My car doesnt even have 10k miles on it yet, so if it gets faster over time then thats even better.


You shoud check the cat if your car is old. (judging by your join date)
