Question Need More Power!

What mods would you suggest for a stock 6spd rx8 to give it more of that push you in your seat acceleration.

Oh, and which are warranty safe..

Good question. There is an answer.
But the one thing you mentioned, "Warranty Safe" kinda throws out everything that will make it put your *** back in the seat. Like a Turbo or Supercharger or NO2.
Now you could put one of these things on your car and if for some reason the engine blows up, the dealer would have to prove that it was caused by one of these mods.
Wanna risk it?
So in reply to your question,,,,, NOTHING.

So sorry.

Not much. None of the normally aspirated mods will pin you back into your seat, they all give you a little bit of extra hp but not something that would be drastic. Cat back exhaust (mostly for sound, but you can get about 3 hp), air intake, maybe pulley. But if you get a ECU reflash, or hi-flow cat. there is a chance if something goes wrong they will void your warranty as you are messing with the electronics & emissions equipment. Turbo, nitrous, etc will definitely void your warranty if something goes wrong. Trust me on this one.

I really like going for stickers.

They always add a few HP.

if you want seat pinning power your warranty is going to have to be voided. Now flywheel, hi-flo cat, pulley, intake, exhaust, and ECU reflash will get you some descent accelleration. This car isn't a power house car. It's more of a new age tofu delivery car.

You could drive it off a cliff. You will be pinned back in teh seat, and the warranty should cover everything.
