Could i ask about the certain mods that will increase HP on my rx8??
So far i've only installed a new exhaust and soon CAI.
Is there anything else to increase HP?? Thanks

Typical Bolt on mods do not yield big HP gains on this car. Going Turbo / SC is about it but that is big bucks. I would suggest an COBB AP to better tune your 8 but if I'm correct your in Australia I'm not sure if that product will work with your ECU. You could gain about 15 more HP if you remove the CAT it that is even an option in your country. What year and transmission do you have? I hope its not an pre 2006 AUTO or low power 5-speed then your options are really low.
