    Intake, Exhaust, Thermostat, Now What?

    Looking for my next mod...
    I have SLP CAI, Whisper Lid, and K&N on the intake side.
    I have a Dynomax Super Turbo with 2.75 inch pipes.
    I just ordered a 180 Thermostat.

    What's the next mod (excluding N20, Supercharger, etc.) I should make for better acceleration (not worry about handling yet)

    Driveshaft? Performance Chip? I've heard pros and cons about both.

    My vote is the 1LE Aluminum Driveshaft.

    less rotating mass = quicker acceleration

    p.s. -- a type-r sticker will add at least 75 hp but don't tell anyone....then everyone will have a type-r sticker...oops too late... :D

        I'd get the type-R sticker, but there's no room on my door with my giant DOHC-VTEC sticker. [img]smile.gif[/img]

        I have an Y87 (3.23 gears and an LSD) I assume 3.23s on a manual are equivalent to 3.42 gears on an auto. Am I right?

        I have a one piece steel on my car, would a aluminum make a difference. People keep telling me it wouldn't.
