Agreed with Dale...

Example of someone with a IMPRESSIVE N/A "B" series would be Tage Evanson.

But remember, A LOT of power is NOT always the best thing... especially with FWD.

Agree, you won't see boost in my car.

Honestly if you really are going to do N/A and stick with it, get quality parts they will make the most power. Mugen intake is the best you can get period, AEM CAI with a BPI is a close 2nd, SMSP is the best header with Toda right behind it, any exhaust that is 2.5" will work, if you skimp out on these basic parts you will just be wasting your money and not getting the full potential of cams and other internals.

Then if you want after that, play with the valve train and cams if you do decide to get those eventually... after that, comes high compression!

Thanks jessi, good call. but on that earlier note Digital... the "trick emissions" thing i was refering too, is that with a race header you don't have a catalytic converter so wouldn't that make a car fail an emissions test? or does it not matter since my car is just plugged in and done through the ECU when i get tested? and i've maid the decision to just do the basic bolt ons. Exhaust/header (hi-flow cat or race header) and then decide either to go with some brembos or coilovers or get more power and an Ecu and tune. Thanks for all ur input, sry to turn a lil boost in this N/A thread, and also sry for those of you that might have feel like you wasted your time.

Even if you some how pass an emissions test without a cat, you'll fail the safety inspection for not having one. And if your dead set on a running your car without a cat, have fun dealing with all the noise. Theres only like a 2-3hp gain from not having a cat. Not worth killing the ozone or my ear drums when driving next to you. LOL

Honestly, by running open-header so often I think I have damaged my ear drums.
