First, you can buy the twin turbos from a 1993-1995 RX-7, they are a direct swap. It's basically a plug-n-play kinda deal. You can find them at junkyards everywhere for a little bit under $200. This will give you an instant extra 200 whp. You can always try the electric turbonator or supercharger, that's a lot simpler to do but you'll have to order it online instead, it also comes with a nifty super boost button. As for suspension, just take out the springs and ride on the shocks, this will dramatically drop your car so you will have a lower center of gravity and it will handle a lot better. I hope this help!

Unfortunately, the RX-8 completely stock is limited about 145-150 mph. That is way too slow in today's world. Even Prius's have us beat. It's sad I know. In order to break that mark, we have found that the cheapest way is to find a really long downhill. The steeper the better. Pushing your car out of a plane works too, but only one person has been willing to try that, and well, it didn't turn out so well. Talk about a headache of an engine rebuild.
Aside from that, your only options are located in vehicles that don't have RX or 8 in the name.

I have 4 1993 RX-7 turbos in my car and I beat Ferraris and Lamborghinis on a daily basis, I'm pushing 800whp and it's my daily driver. I have 8 RX-7 turbos in my Civic and I can break the sound barrier with that.

I can't keep up with the new 8 owners that can't read or don't know how to search. Ask stupid questions and tells us nothing. Never mentioned if he was 4 port or 6 port. And the misinformation that gets posted as answers is unbelievable. I will not even bother to tell my end......I prefer Renesis SE3P answers - at least you know he's screwing with you................................

2006 = 6 Port, right? 
you're already ahead of the guys with stock '04 or '05 AT's as they had 4port engines with less hp then you.
How fast do you want to go?
how mechanically inclined are you?
Have you considered Forced Incuction?
How much do you want to spend?
simple answers:
- Nitrous is cheap and effective
- Turbo or Supercharger can add quite a bit of horsepower but you're kissing your warranty goodbye and it's not cheap. (just ask Phil8 and his beautiful Supercharged 4 port AT)

I may have exagerated slightly.
This Prius though, http://www.autoblog.com/2004/12/22/w...astest-hybrid/ hit 130. They are running 550 volts, compared to the standard 500v Prius.
We have what....12v? Clearly they are faster.

550 divided by 12.
yeah, they are 45 times FASTER then us.
why the HELL did I buy an RX-8? I could have had a Prius...

it's been done once that I know of and it's quite the process. HONESTLY, you're almost better off selling the car and buying an MT. It's not just about switching transmisisons.
2. "go as fast as possible"
speed is not an issue, you can easily do over 120+ mph in an AT.
are you tracking the car?
drag race?
or you just feel like you need more hp.
