If you just want more gobs more torque period either get another car or start looking at forced induction options like a turbo or supercharger. Or buy a Mustang GT...

Thank you! I still to this day don't understand why people complain about torque in this car. What did they expect from an N/A 2 liter? I mean seriously... I find it rather strong down low. This thing has some grunt for an N/A 4cyl under 3k. Try driving a Honda and tell me how this car feels. Or my Wife's Sentra. Most N/A 4cyl cant even make 150 lb/ft in N/A 2.0l form except for the F20, but even that engine doesn't peak until 7800rpm. Sure, its no super car, but this is the wrong car if you want "gobs of torque". Or, just save up and buy the damn supercharger. $3600 with a tune is awesome if you ask me.
