To be quite honest with you most of the mods for the RX8 do not add much horse power, the best thing you can is to do things that will decrease the weight. lighter rims, lighter flywheel. I would not advise changing the intake, before I went FI I bought the intake from SR motors did not make any real gains but actually seemed to make the car lose power.

for the high flow cat. what one should i get? racing beat? as the same for a flywheel? what am i looking for to get for one.. and im sure its a few hour job to install a flywheel isnt it. i know when i did my stage 3 clutch on on my eclipse it was an all nighter, but that also went with turbo kit and everything else..
