Id also like to know which exhaust to get and then what headers. Im sure once i get the right combination of i/h/e ill be able to beat all them V8s! Ive seen some nice Hondas around here with holes drilled in their bumper and wondered if that made that airflow around the car better also. I dont think it will take much to beat some V8s b/c our cars are so light but every little bit helps. Also, what body kits would yall reccomend for better aerodynamics around my car when im racing? Ive seen many and wondered which wing and body kit would help me out the most. My friend with his Trans Am keeps on telling me that he would pound me but ill admit that while im stock he could but once i get some headers and intake and some exhaust and stuff ill be ready to run him. Thanks for your help.
