ask yourself this....

how often do you use FULL throttle at full revs?

i know I dont, almost never, in a car that weighs a bit more than yours, and has a smaller engine.

so do you NEED that extra power? and concurrent loss in fuel (laughable) economy?

If you are really looking for some speed, I'd go for a powerchip, you can give Evosport a call to see what they have for your current car. There's quite a lot of stuff you can do to it!

chip

just remember that nothing is for free. If you change your chip for more power, how do you get it? Is it higher revs, that wear your engine out much quicker, and use more fuel. Research lots before you spend money on something thats not realy necessary.

remember these cars will do 135 mph with the chip they have, the same car with the european chip will do 155 mph.

Anyway enjoy your car, I love mine.

ase will burn you a custom chip- check the c32 forums for contact info ~$600... if you do a chip your going to be fueling the engine more- hence you need more air (new intake)... for more power you could look at a remus exhaust, take out one of your cats, port your manifold, bore the throttle body... but really is it going to make a difference on a ~4400lb car- with all the bolt ons your good for a max of 20hp...for the best band-for-your-buck go with an aftermarket differential, there $3000 plus install but will easily shave a second of your zero to sixty time
