+30-37 WHP & +30 WTQ
1. Tune + e85
= + 20whp and +20wtq (OFT = $500, ECUTEK = $1000)
2. Header = +10 to +17 whp and +10wtq (OFH UEL = $500, JDL UEL = $1000)
Just these two really improve power and driveability.

3. Phantom e-charger can be bolted on in 2 hours and off in 45 minutes for dealer service visits. Will get you to 220+ WHP and 200+WTQ added to the above mods but without the header. So far no dynos with everything, but that should be coming very soon

Very true. Though the topic does say "No Turbo"

Still very important clarification. Thanks!

Very interested in this too. Half the reason I bought this car is that I came from my GS-R and wanted a warranty so i could just drive and enjoy without worrying about fixing problems myself. Seems most gains need a tune and currently they are somewhat costly and detectable. I know I'm being a cheap asshole because I'm coming from the Honda world.

This is definitely the answer. Most real world gains as far as speed goes and you don't touch the engine.

OP is into numbers obviously. He won't like the final drive upgrade.

Without voiding warranty? Here's a couple bolt-on ideas for you:

I can't tell you how to do it without voiding the warranty. But you could get some nice gains with the following:

-E85 fuel or 93 with water/meth injection
-Equal length header
-2.5" exhaust
-Cold air intake
-Big bore throttle body
(all of which would need to be dyno-tuned)

And to reduce parasitic loss and get more power to the ground/better accel:
-lightweight pulleys
-carbon fiber driveshaft
-lightweight flywheel
-lightweight wheels/tires
-higher final drive ratio

Those are just power mods. You can make the car faster overall with suspension, brake, and weight reduction mods, but as mentioned before the best mod you can do to the car is to improve the skill of the driver.

Depends on what your youthful innocence was worth.
