you could also look into the quad electric turbo from ebay. Its universal and plugs into the DC outlet +300whp. Also you can increase the boost with the volume **** on the radio. And you can order in strobe/black/or rainbow style lights.

Mods for big gains....turbo, supercharger, nitrous...
Cheap...Nitrous

and remember needs to be tuned no matter what you get..

if you're lookin to make a ton of power all the time...sell the 8 and get something that has cheaper parts...cheap and rx8 usually don't go in the same sentence..especially when it comes to performance...

so to the OP depends on Nitrous shot of how much money you are going to spend on EXTRA things other than the kit

^that's true...I gues when I hear big I THINK BIG!!!!....either way...if the OP is askin this ?(means he hasn't searched and therefore is not sure about it) so yeah a 55 would b good for a first time....

in school the teacher said ok we're putting the 'BIG' SHOT Of nitrous on today(250 shot on chevy 350) so that's where I get my big from haha....
