Suggestions, dont street race, bring it to the track. If you want faster for that purpose sell the car for something faster. The TL isnt a car you can boost or mod cheaply. Only real options for boost are all custom fabricated. Nothing that is a bolt on kit.

Nope, Warming up. Its melting here.

Why, because i said not to street race? I race on the track, and you know as well as i do the TL isnt cheap or easy to mod for more power, especially FI.

Our Tl's are meant to look good while driving to the race.

The most cost effective way to get power would be custom turbo. But since there's no tuning available you could only safely run maybe 5-6psi of boost. That said, 5-6psi should still net you well over 300whp. Contact member "assclown" if you are serious. He might still have his turbo kit for sale at a good price. His kit was from an Accord, so if he doesn't have it anymore, look for Accord turbo kits and retrofit it to the TL.

In the mean time if you are looking for cheaper options for more power, start out with the ported lower runners I have for sale
