spend time reading on here. almost all these things have been discussed to death. educate yourself and form your own opinions. dont always take what others tell you as being 100% accurate. its YOUR car, learn about it. don't depend on others.

The mods that will give you the most power other than a turbo or supercharger is a catless midpipe and the Cobb AccessPort from Mazdamaniac. Other than that, intakes, pullies don't yield much HP gains as the engineers at Mazda did a great job with this car. I guess you could also sell your automatic 8 and buy a manual transmission 8. 04 autos have the 4 port engine and MT 8's have the high power 6 port.

some people think that pullies dont do much. personally i think it helps out just a little bit but not much. i put the unorhadox pullies on my 04 AT and it did rev much quicker and helps the acceleration out some also. but its your car, do what you would like

That's why I said it doesn't yield much HP ;)
