You're still welcome to call (some of us) jerks though!

If you sift through the jokes and hyperbole there are some decent suggestions for NA.

TL;DR: tune above all else, Flexfuel or dedicated e85, and Crawford Power Blocks may be worth looking into. You may be damaging the engine given current mods and no tune, so keep that in mind.

Kinda like graphics cards, the top tier from a generation or two ago usually outperforms the newest generation's low tier.

But, you still haven't actually flogged the machine? I mean, I'm sure you've redlined it but there's a difference between merging quickly and getting some quality throttle oversteer in a corner at >50 mph.

Bruh.... I mean. You're coming from an NSX.... you can't compare this car to that with minor modification. FI is the only thing that'll bring the car close to replicating what you felt taking that car around RA.

Without FI this car won't feel fast. It'll feel quick sure but not press your head into the headrest fast.

Your right, it's comparing apples to oranges, both are good but different. Maybe a super charger and tune are in my future...
