Upgrades To Increase HP

I am interested in increasing the performance on my coupe. As of now, all I have is a Top Speed axle back. What upgrades can I do to increase the HP, other than forced induction. Is there a chip? As of now, all I can find is intake and exhaust.

I am not trying to rebuild the engine components, just basic bolt ons. Short ram vs CAI? Any suggestions? eBay Takeda Stage 2 Short Ram intake only $495. I'm bored at work so just ordered some NISMO engine dressup stuff

took me about 3 hours to install since you have to cut the some Ducts to make the pipe fir through. i did this without removing the bumper

The money you'll spend to get any significant horsepower from basic bolt ons would be far more than an F/I kit. You're better off getting a used S/C or TT kit.

Not even. Just do 4.08 gears and call it a day. The $1200 or so u will spend on this, will wipe its *** with any "basic bolt on" you could ever dream of.

Not everyone wants to go FI..
I would rather spend 10g and have a more reliable NA car than a FI Car.. over time that FI will cost more money to maintain
