(this is of course, given that both cars are stock).

I've beaten plenty of SI's...especially in the 1/8 mile. I even beat one pretty handedly when all I had was intake...he had all the bolt ons, cam gears, ITR intake manifold, etc...he was pissed when we were comparing timeslips

unfortunately, 4th gear isn't that great. i like how short 1st is, forces shifts into 2nd and/or 3rd for city driving (saving gas).

But it feels better when you don't have to downshift to 3rd when some dork in an SRT-4 is blowing off on you. :rick:

Anyway.

ITR (or skunk2...it's an ITR copy) intake manifold, HASport header, high flow cat, catback of your choice, and you'll be in business.

AEBS makes an ITR copy as well...and I believe the skunk2 has slightly shorter runners than the ITR manifold.

before the b20, i beat every single Si (nonboosted ones of course) up to about 70mph (beg/mid of 3rd)... the Si's that did beat me, all happened at the end of 3rd. there was nothing i could do about that :happysad:

then i got the b20 and got revenge on them
