What are our options?

**gdbyrd** · 01-12-2009

For the NA motors, aside from a top end swap, what are our options for making decent power? In my very narrow searches, I haven't seen anything that seemed to offer a lot to us.

-Particular car in question for me is an '06.

not much, I havnt found anything that has even remotely enticed me to void the warranty...yet

Ive seen some stuff on gpona for the 04+'s. I have an 07 and it seems to be a skipped year in the aftermarket world.

unless youre going with some form of power adder (supercharger, turbo, nitrous) then youre not going to get very far without pouring literally double the amount your car costs into the motor.

you can get easily into the low 13s with a top end swap and easily into the 12s with a turbo.

Right, but aside from the top end swap. What are our options? I haven't seen any kits for these cars...and from what I'm gathering they don't offer tuning for the 06+ cars.

They do offer tuning for the newer cars. You just have to use an 05 pcm. A cam swap is always an option.

Damn, I still have alot of research to do. I wasn't even aware there were cams made for the N/A cars. Would you recommend a vendor that offers some of this stuff?

I really wish we had some stickies on the forums. I'm not even sure what my first mod should be : / All cars take differently to different mods, still not sure what needs the most work on the GP.

Will do. I've never even messed with an engine this big. I wouldn't know the trims or the turbocharger sizes to even consider, lol.

I don't want to do anything too rash to this car. I really enjoy it stock honeslty. I just want to see what options are available for the future.
