Your options are turbo/sc/nitrous.

Or you could get some new gears if you wanna stay NA

Just saw the toybox auto thing, you live in az?

Headers paired with Cams and a re-tune. Other wise your only other options are FI.

New gears and an LSD are good for any car. You are also forgetting the possibility of a full NA build.

You also don't have all of the basic mods available. You are lacking front and rear sway bars, which should have been your first mod. Also, you don't have coilovers, which combined with sway bars would make a dramatic improvement in terms of performance.

You probably want to get rid of the osirus and get yourself a utech for better safety, and then retune

You could also go for a reflash or grab a cobb access port or even a utech and a tune to optimize your NA mods.

OP stated he's already had his car tuned with OSIRIS.

Car feels great with the mods put on it thus far. Love the sound of the pop charger, Borla, and Berks. But as you know, the more you drive it, the slower it gets, and the more power you need. Sometimes Ill borrow moms camry to go to Cali. Then I get back into my car, and it feels like a rocketship again.

Will I notice a drastic improvement in body roll with the sway bars? I see alot of people with Hotchks. How hard to install these?

NA build is WAY too much money for the little HP. Headers seem to move power band around, but for cost dont seem to add much.

I think I would switch from Osiris to Utech if I was going boost. I think Shawn Church did great job with the tune. Gained 9HP and 12TQ. I'm at 253HP from Xact Dyno in Tempe, AZ. I live in Anthem.

Im going to have to read up on gears & LSD. Thanks for everyone's input.

I havent personally done Cams, i know of a few people who have. You would have to research and decide which setup is best for you. Cams are a good upgrade but they'll add more top end power and lose a little torque, that's why i suggested headers as well, the headers bring back the loss in low end power.

I know where anthem is, you don't live too far from Tim (ttrank). You should join us on one of our drives when we go up north to prescott/jerome through the twisties on hwy 89. Just check in the west forum from time to time thats where we post em.


I got the stillen sways set on hard/hard they make a huge difference in handling! I love them!

I just got my osiris flash at xact dyno. I did several runs with diff maps my lowest was 266 My highest was 274, best torque was 254 for the run. I have the base maps I'm sure if I get a custom tune I can do more.

More aggressive gears will raise your rpm's in every gear and will give you a lower top speed but better acceleration. Just depends on how aggressive you wanna go.

infinus, I posted in west forum about our run-in on Indian school while back. ;-)
I saw ttrrank at the dyno day when shawn church was out in Phx, and I met up with ttrank to purcahse billet cap off him.

I would def. be down to head up for one of those drives. 274 is solid! I guess my non rev-up is inferior. How much you pay for the stillens? Hard to put in?

sways are a very easy install if you have any mechanical knowledge. Unbolt the old stuff and bolt up the new stuff in it's place.

His car makes me want to go FI instead of buy a house haha.

I had my dyno done at goodspeed performance on their MAHA dyno, that things amazing, it can calculate exact drivetrain loss as is spins down, no guess work. I have an 05 AT thats non-revup.

The stillens are on sale for 250:
