nos, lots of nos. kidding. you need some forced induction. if you dont want to spend that much, start with I/H/E. (intake header exhaust).

it's not the car, it's you - learn to drive properly.

go to an autox or hpde or something where you can push your car to the limit "safely".

sounds like you still have an open diff... with open diff you have crap power during turns regardless of whats under your hood. That power you have under the hood isn't getting to the wheel evenly

get vlsd, you'll feel the difference immediately

If you are exiting a corner you dont "need" low end power, because you SHOULD be in the torque band already if you are driving properly....the idea is to keep the engine RPMS in the peak power zone .....Perhaps you should just try a lower gear....

This reminds me of my friend who says his supra is "slow" yet he ONLY shifts under 4 thousand rpms .....no ****...

three step proccess

1. stop doing that sh*t on the streets2. go auto-crossing and learn the car3. when you cannot extract any more performance from the current set-up, mod accordingly
