I'd love to see some CF bodyparts come out, maybe a CF hatch or CF frontend. Time to lighten this pig up.

aspirate

I think #3 applies...I haven't confirmed with any "gurus" on the "import scene", yet, but I think nitrous would be considered NA.

I dont think NA tunning is for ppl on a tight budget. Bolt ons can only do so much to improve the amount of air in and exhaust out. NA cars are all about compression ratios baby!!! Thats where the horses are.

Good point Enron, but I personally have plans for boosting in the not so near future, and I wouldnt wanna deal with boosting with 11-12:1 ratios. Although that would kik *** power wise, but the delicacy of it all is something I would rather shy away from, atleast on this car. My own project is to see if I can hit 500 @ the crank with a safe amount of boost without playing with the comp ratios. Say a stock ATI boost level of 7psi or so. In which case I hope the cars can hold up to it nicely.... keeping my fingers crossed!

Hey Victor, you need to edit your list with HP gained from each item (to the wheels). Then you need to make this thread a sticky for us N/A peeps.
