Question Bolt-on or ECU HP & Torque ?

Has anyone explored how to get more power out of the new TL's yet? A/F ratio's, Timing, ECU adjustments, Cold-air, Exhaust?

Anyone out there looking for more power?

I e-mailed Comptech and was told they would have a supercharger kit in the the near future. For $4000.00 (approx) plus installation you'll get about 40 more HP. :wow: This type of kit was/is available for the 2002-3 TL Type s, and as I recall, transmission tweaks were also recommended. Then brakes, exhust. springs...$$$$$

Wow! I thought there'd be some bolt-ons like cold-air kits and pulleys to get a few more rwhp. For that money and that kind of ROI I certainly won't be buy a SC kit any time soon. :wow:

Does anyone else do performance parts besides Comptech for Honda/Acura?

Thanks.
