Boost controller, external wastegate, turbo timer, dry sump setup, koyo radiator, bigger intercooler, bigger turbo, ECU Flash and Dyno tune<-- Most effective, engine rebuild, stroker kit, hi-po intake plenum, top end rebuild, carbon fiber, nitrous oxide . . . I mean, I can think of a ton of things to spend $1,000 on . . .it all depends on what your focus is . . .what IS your focus? Street? Strip? Track?

You've got everything you need? Why go further, how long have you been racing? If not long, you need to focus on the driver. That's the most important modification you can make! Take that grand and save it, spend money on getting into events. You can dump all the money in the world in a car, if you fail-at-life behind the wheel, you're going to blow hard.

A couple of years? So you're pretty established then? What class do you run? Which category? Where do you normally place? Either way, you would benefit more from seat time than any modification. Tighten the nut behind the wheel first . . .

Just admit, you wanna street race . . .that's the ONLY reason for more power on a street setup is so you can drive faster than the person next to you from light to light.
If you just want more power, you're not going to do much better than the advice I've listed in my first post in this ever so meaningful thread.

You have an SR20 blacktop and you can't keep up with an Eclipse? Those are like 17 second cars . . .whatever. . . if you're wondering about drag racing and you've got full suspension already, tires are your best bet, but with anything involving real racing, seat time, seat time, seat time . . .that's going to take the most time off your RT and your ET.
