The cheapest way is a 50shot or something. Bolt ons are a waste.

you should alwayse consider power to weight ratio before trying to race someone... stock we push 190 hp but it's probably more like 150 to the wheele and 220 lbs torque... but then againg we are rear wheel drive... this light weight civic with the v tec definately has the advantage as its front wheel and some where in the 200+ hp... try puting yourself up agains other v6 with similar weight leki grand ams and grad prix... **** like that... but yeah a 50 shot would totaly give you a big advantage but it would be better to put out some serious dough and get a SC... the cai is only gonna make your engine breath better and sound a lil better... other than that you would not knowtice a diffrence even if it adds a couple hp... but if you want to just have fun try to see how you can hold up to an 07 si... i'm actually gonna go try my stang on the track for the first time tomorow... i hope i do good....

well they are lighter

2007 Civic Si
