Serious question: Best upgrade?

I've already added the TRD exhaust, Injen Intake and other minor bullshit such as rims, springs and tint.

My real question though is... without going SC or Turbo... whats the next best upgrade to get some power out of this car?

I dont want to void any warranties as I really have been heavy on the shifts since the day i got it (F the "break in" period).

Just looking for maybe an extra 15-20 hp. Any ideas?

get a tune, thats the only thing that wtill get you there without warranty issues. Even that may give you an issue. Also put your flame suit on, this thread is retarded.

Wait for Electric Super Charger. While waiting, read the whole thread. Nothing else comes close for roughly $1500 that won't void your warranty.
