In your guys opinion, which NA mod gives you the biggest results horsepower wise? Full exhaust, intake, manifold, or something else? I know all of those will give you small gains and you get the best result by combining them all together, but I'm talking about individual mods.

Nitrous is considered a "power adder" by EVERY sanctioning body. It's not an NA mod.



A CAI gets you the best bang for the buck NA.

He didn't ask what he should do to his car. Read the question again.

I'd say look at mods that free up horsepower. You're only gonna get so far with simple bolt ons on a NA motor. But, lightened flywheel, light weight forged rims, look at areas of weight reduction. Honestly, back in the day, the best bang for the buck was my CAI, the next best mod IMO was the AIRRAM. close sencond was a tie between my lightened flywheel and lightweight rims.

I liked the combination of lightened flywheel and crank pulley.
