Performance Parts

I have an 03 TL-S and have,
Comptech Ice-Box
Comptech Cat-Back Exhaust
Comptech Headers
Comptech Titanium Strut Bar
Thermoblock Spacer
UR pulley set..stock diameter
What else could i do to my car performance wise? I want to put the comptech transcooler in it to help with the life of my tranny. Any suggestions besides the comptech blower and an NX system?

If you go for a power adder, I would seriously consider hunting down a Dr. Evil tranny as well.

Check the CL section, they are talking about RL cams ...It is a inexpensive and seems like a decent mod. Every little bit helps if you wanna keep it all motor

Lightweight wheels. It doesn't ADD power, but it could dramatically reduce the parasitic loss due to the heavy stock wheels/tires.

Think the RL cams would have more gain in a TL-P over a TL-S?
