Hello Everyone,
First off I would just like to say thankyou for everyone who posts on this web site, I have found out so many different things just by reading other posts. Again this is a great site, thankyou all. Anyway, I own a '96 Celica GT with a 5s-fe. I currently have: NGK Plugs Catback exhaust 2.25" pipeing CAI Header My car has 148,000 miles on it and I was just wondering how I can get some more horse power out of it without swapping and without throwing in a turbo (seems like alot of miles to turbo, prolly a waste...). At this point I am kind of out of ideas. I was thinking of putting an MSD ignition box in, however I was reading on here that I will see little to nothing by doing so. I also thought about adding one of those "racing chips". Again, I read on this site that these are crap. I am pretty much learning as I go. Every performance upgrade to my car I have performed (except exhaust) so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciated... -------------------- ![]() |

Everyone calls nitrous expensive due to all the bottle refills. If you really only use the stuff when you race and don't squeeze on every drive, you'll be mazed how long a bottle will last.
