Need some new MODS! Any Suggestions???
Alright, i have a 2003 TL Type S and so far i have done the following...
H&R Sport Springs
Comptech Sways
OBX Headers
Comptech Icebox
Bridgestone Potenza S0-3
Nuespeed Strutbar
Hyperwhite sidemarkers
Hyperwhite Highs
Hyperwhite Fogs
Comptech Tranny Cooler
I'm kinda lookin' to get more power out of the car, but don't know what else to get.
Supercharger is too expensive right now for the amount of HP it provides, and I'm not really interested in the exhausts that provide HP because of the loud sound it gives off.
So what other MODS can i do for my car?
Thanks!

And nitrous may be too much for me, and i also don't know too much about it and don't know how safe it is.
As for the lighter wheel/tire combo, i'm probably gonna mess myself up beacuse i plan on getting chrome wheels eventually, and wouldn't they be heavy?
Thanks for your suggestions

I haven't heard too many bad things about the UR pullies, although very few people have them. AEM pullies I don't think give any gains. Chrome will be heavy so that won't help. You have sticky tires already so the only thing that would help are lighter wheels.
Pullies, NO2, exhaust, and SC are the only go goodies that you don't have and exhaust won't help much. There might be a piggy back ECU in the near future so that might help.

there already is a piggy back ecu... the unichip... but it is extremely expensive (like more than $1k for the chip and to tune it). some people have used the UR pullies and gotten gains, but if you get these, you wont be able to run a system... like an amo and subwoofers and tv's and stuf like that as it underdrives the alternator. but if u dont have any electrical mods and dont plan on doing any... then they would be safe to use.

I had AEM Pulleys on my B18C and if the you retard the timing correctly you will definitley see gains. You just have to have someone who knows what their doing to get the most of out of cam gears.

str8acura, we may be talking about a different chip. Here some info on this new piggyback ecu a company is working on....sorry server is down but go to www.acura-cl.com/forums and look it up there. Long thread but you can read the first and ninth page to get the jist of it.

I have the UR crank pulley. I posted a review awhile ago that you could look up...It's something, but not all that...
Chrome wheels will definitely affect your performance. H=ll, I had light wheels (less than 17lbs) and now have 20lb wheels and there is a slight difference...You get some big 'ol 26lb bling-blings and that'll suck!
I'd say save up for the sc...
