ok, i enjoy having an NA very much but the lack of power is discouraging to say the least. Ive read a good amount of posts and the RB header is on the top of the list of things i need but besides that i havent seen alot in the way of other ideas. Nitrous is a last resort to say the least cause i dont want my car on the bottle and i havent seen very many parts around that would help me with my problem. If im just not looking in the right place could you point me in the right direction or if anyone has any good sudjestions of things that i could do to eek out more power then i'd be open the hear them.

I got my N/A after I got my turbo, and I just love it. Sure, it's not nearly as fast, but it's quick enough. I just put the RB header on it, and I love how the car pulls now. I like how different the driving experience is between an N/A and a turbo. Of course, since I do have two T2s as well, I'm not really concerned with how fast it is, but I do like experimenting with it and seeing how it responds to mods. It's an incredibly fun car, and it'll beat most 4-cyl ricers, at least. An N/A FC is just as respectable as a T2 in my mind.



Though, I'm definately looking forward to giving it a half-bridge.
