As always, the weak link is typically the driver . No offense intended, but I recently put ~$2000 in suspension mods and ended up going slower in Auto-Xs. However, at every event I improved. Seat time and good instruction are invaluable.

I did get a J-Racing CF hood and I "think" I'm going faster, and isn't that the most important thing... your self image .

Get the AEM EMS and a good tune....A better header (Such as the J's or Ricks) would give you alot more gains then the DC sports one...I've heard that you actually lose HP with that one...Maybe that's why its only $300.

If you wanna make it go around a track faster, put that towards some tires, brakes, & a track event or two.

Prove it.
I thought WisconsinS2k was upper 12's with 4.57's. I thought his car was mostly stock (other than the usual intake, exhuast, etc.). I do not think he is SC'd or other FI. PM him and ask about the 4.57's. He seems to pretty much know about them.

This car is BONE STOCK 13.5-13.7.

Check out Wisconsin's video link in his signature. That is like 3 car lengths.

...You will get a good gain with the AEM and a good tune.

Umm, If you're concerned about HP so much, why did you buy all those cheap engine mods that probably did little for you. Get a J's Header, T1R or J's Racing 70mm exhaust, AEM or other Intake, VAFC or EMS and you will make a good 20-25whp.
