Default Need more Power!!!

Alright... A few weeks back I told myself I wasnt going to spend anymore money on my car... I went out and bought me a 99 Honda CBR F4 and thought that would satisfy my need for speed. Well, today a chick in a new Acura luxury sedan decides to race me and shes dead even... WHAT JUST HAPPENED? Im getting sick of all these soccer mom vehicles being as fast as my Mustang!!! Not to mention my friends bone stock 5.0 hung dead even with me. So I need some more power.

So far heres what I have: PI Intake, K&N filter, X pipe with dumps.

I know gears are a good idea but they arent that cheap when you consider install...

So maybe Pulleys? Timing adjuster? Headers?

I dont want to spend a fortune... Another 25hp or so should do the trick...


Thanks

gears are worth thier weight in gold on our cars man. and throw in the pi heads. just stock heads will easily give you the 25 hp you need. those bolt ons won't.

Where did you guys get PI heads?
from 99+ GT's. you can get them from a seller on ebay, or buy them from a shop that sells head/cam packages. like VT engines.

No I dont have a PI swap... Just the intake.

The difference between PI and non PI is 35hp and my intake is 15hp so PI Heads and Cams will give me another 20..

well...that may not be true bout the intake.
i got an intake and my dyno increased 17 bhp.

so some of them will more than "do the trick"

Oh and to your problem with losing to soccer moms...stop beatin around the bush and blow that ****
soccer mom's wont be even close to hangin with u then. haha

nah, but thats prolly not in ur price range--get the gears, everyone comments that they are the best, and when I get some ill let u kno
