your best bet, the racingbeat intake, exahsut, the mazsport ignition system upgrade, and the interceptor-x,
the inter-x and the ignition upgrade was dynoed on a stock car other then that and it gained 23whp over stock, the ignition upgraded gained about 10whp, and it seems tyhe racingbeat intake systems seem to be a popular bet, almsot everyone who dynos over 200whp has the RB intake, other then that, lightweight flywheel, and lightweight rims

Well, it was discussed in that thread but didnt find a definitive answer... I have the RP supercat and wondering if the heat would be an issue with the RB race flash. Not to hijack this thread but since the RB flash is being discussed. From what I saw in the linked thread it sounded like most didnt find it of concern but I didnt see it said very definitively. I also have nitrous so making sure the pairing of RB flash + nitrous wouldnt destroy the cat.

But yeah, exhaust temps will increase so killing off the supercat is a possibility.
