Suggestions ?
I am looking for some more power in my 99 RS. Crrently I have Borla Exhaust, S-AFC, Underdrive pulley, and a K&N Cone filter. I do not neccesarily want a huge increase in power(Though I wouldnt mind) I am curious what relativly easy N/A mods (No headwork) could I do to get a noticable power increase? Would headers or a new, more complete intake be worthwhile? Or would I be better off just saving my money and going for a small turbo later on. Thanks for your help.

If you are disciplined enough, save up for the turbo, but done correctly, you are looking at $6-8000. Gotta buy the turbo, new engine management, lower compression ratio, new exhaust (at least 2.5", 3 is better). That will be a big power gainer. If not, get an intake. I can get you instructions to convert cobb intake for the MAF, or you can talk to Larry Ganz about his weapon R conversion, which has the PRM filter like the Cobb. This filter is awesome, and will give you around 7-10hp and pull all the way from idle to redline smoothly!
Headers are nice if you don't want to turbo down the line... Rob |

Headers seem like the next step for you. Don't know if it would really be worth the $$$ unless you're real serious. I'm saving up for a turbo myself. EJ25 + turbo = . about 5-6K for a complete Vishnu system. yee haw. still, if you've got a couple hundred bucks to blow, go with the headers. Also, engine and tranny mounts help out, I've heard. less drivetrain flex should make it feel more solid and a little more responsive.
