How to improve ur 8.
So ive been doing some research and i ended up not going for the intake but mayb an exhaust. Thing is everyone is saying why would u get this or that for 2-3 more hp. So the question is what makes a real big difference in throttle or torque or anything to the car? I mean what can u do with around $1000 that would increase ur 8? Ive been looking into car headers do those make a big difference??

From what I see the Cobb AP, and a good tune are the best power for the money.
A reliability mod too!
See MazdaManiac (or search for him).
I am not a current owner of an AP, but my piggy bank is on schedule for this year.

Spelling and grammar lessons are always good things to spend money on...
You're not going to get significant power increases without going FI, period. end of story. Blowing $1000 for an amount of horsepower that you'll barely feel seems a waste to me. Especially when there are other mods you can do that will have significant gains in things like handling and appearance.
Mazdaspeed springs?
Decent Tires?
Short shifter?
Swaybars?
Strut bars?
Strakes?

Anyways, this question has been asked millions of times. Look around.
Nitrous can be done for under $1k and has good results.
The COBB AccessPORT is a solid mod as well.
An intake will net you more power than any exhaust (except a race pipe), but don't expect much.

The Cobb AP is a flash tool that reprograms your cars stock computer (PCM) with custom tunes.
Visit www.mazdamaniac.com for more info.
I would really suggest researching more, however, before you just go making your car a parts shelf.
