i think its time you get kingsfan ram air intakes.. he was making somewhere around a 50HP gain

 

LOL! The possibility that I need a driving lesson has not been lost on me. This is the first AT car I have ever owned. It was those paddle shifters that sucked me in... Don't know what to say other than the throttle just feels very sluggish from a stop. The car feels pretty torquey once I get it launched, it's just getting out of the hole where it seems weak.

 

Grounding kit and a tune?

 

I got a grounding kit a few months ago. I guess what I was looking for from you dudes is someone with a similar experience and what they did, if anything, to "fix" it. Like I said before, I've been leaning towards the Cobb AP, but that is significant $$. I'm not too sure if there is any shop around my location (Huntsville, AL) that can tune the car. I could ping the dealer and see what they say. The Cobb seems like a potential solution. What do you Cobb AP owners have to say??

 

save your money and have her custom tuned.. even if you had to ship her

 

it seems like your really wanting to get the cobb ap but its too much money. i got one for sale barely used. i sold the G so thats the reason for selling these parts. I also have the stillen gen 3 intakes which are proven to make power through out the whole rpm range.

PM me if your interested in either.

 

+1


I would recommend either the Intake scoops or the Status Elite intakes. One will be aesthetically neutral, getting you +30 to 50 whp, the other will be a panty dropper intake with an also astonishing +20whp. You get what you pay for.

 

A grounding kit will NOT make any low end torque. Mine nor anyone else's. That's not what they are for.

 

I have been there and done that. All bolts on. Cobb AP done. Seriously I agree with Pearl. I feel the power on high end definately. Just messing around I can hit 120 in one of the smallest bridges down here chilling... Im running Stage 2 because is more richer than Stage2+ dyno proven.

 

Yeah, the paddle shifters sound cool in theory, but it's not a replacement for the 6mt.

I don't want to get into the 6mt>5at debate, but this is one of the main reasons I got a 6mt.

 

understood. I went with that to hopefully improve the shift delay.

 

Unfortunately, I am a Mac user, I don't own a PC, and I don't think Cobb has software for the Mac.

 

It's true, if you like to burn rubber, should have stuck with the MT. I have even been considering trading in and getting a 09 6MT. I'd be taking it in the shorts though - trade in value is supposedly around $33K.

 

IMO, if you like to tinker with your car as a hobby then mods can satisfy that need. Otherwise, save your money and leave the car stock. Spending all that cash and chancing voiding your warranty for a minimal and sometimes non-existent hp gain that you’ll never notice anyway, doesn’t seem to be worth it.

 

If you want power, buy an e30 M3 and turbo it. You can have a 12 sec car for under 10g's.
