s/c or nitrous will guarantee you a win, and do some weight reduction on the day of your race.

or

Trade it in for a TL-S and that will also guarantee your win (i've spanked my friend's 08 tiburon several times). If you guys remember the movie office space and the indian guy's reaction in the opening scene... that was my friend.

m/t if you're trying to go fast, 6spd is the way. i don't trust a/t clutches and solenoids to do the shifting for me. my 05m/t has beaten up many a v6 pontiac, mustang and camaro. hell, i keep up with a/t g35s sometimes. depends on traffic and if anyones grandfather is driving the g.

You will get maybe an extra 1 hp with the underdrive pulley.

And Joe made a good point. The P2R spacer is good for some low end grunt. It made 5 whp and 9 ft lbs of tq.
Did I read that right, the UR Underdrive pulley only gives you 1hp gain?

The UR underdrive pulley will get you about 7-8 HP.
The UR stock size pulley will get you about 6-7 HP (so 1 HP less than the underdrive pulley)

I can't believe I haven't done the UR! That was one of the first things on my list! I must correct this and I think there is a DIY here somewhere...

I think $180, plus if your going to get the underdrive pulley which is smaller your going to need a new belt which is an additional $15...

I have all of the parts that Josh sells at Excelerate, and my car is a beast as far as low/top end power! If you look at my sig, you will see all of my mods. My car sounds and drives like stock as far as normal driving. Plus I get excellent gas mileage.

P.S. Damn a TL-S!

No offence, but I'm not a fan of the S's. I love the sleeper look. The speakers sound great! Before I had to crank the volume to pass 30 just to hear the music good. Now it's all good at 15 or less.

As everyone has been saying the P2R throttle body spacer is also a good low end mod. PM me if you need the pulley and spacer.

The door speakers cost me less than $90, and the tweeters less than $50. I ordered them online through Amazon.

That's ok Josh. I don't think he's getting the message.

yes sir

i had every mod on the 06 TL N/A, and added them all 1 at a time, nothing compared to the cats.

$1000

E-Shift Cats BY FAR, produced the most power on the charts, and in the car. you'll be gettingl ike 18whp/18tq from those bad boys... matched with your intake, and some free-flowing exhaust, you'll gain over 25whp together

Who makes a CAI for '07 TL-S?

I just installed my P2R thermoblock spacers today. I am surprised that you can feel a difference! Thanks, Josh from excelerate.com !
I had a K&N CAI on my '05 6MT. I now have an "07 5AT. I don't see any mfr (AEM,K&N, Injen, Fujita)that offer a CAI specifically for an '07 TL-S. Are you guys using a previous year CAI that was offered for the 3.2? Are the tubes the same size? Are you getting appreciable hp gains over the stock CAI (which seems to be pretty efficient)?
Lastly, now that I have installed the thermoblocks, do you think I will have any gains by using a K&N drop-in?
Thanks for help and suggestions. I thought I was pretty educated on CAI's, but this '07 has me confused
