Cold air is denser than warm air. There for getting a better burn each time. This makes the engine more efficient and the by product is more power, or if you don't use it better gas millage

And no the zip ties are not doing a functional part they just helped hold everything in place when we put it together.

ok so if anyone is still reading this thread perhaps could answer this question. Is there any front Ant-sway bars for our cars? I think this would be a good mod!

swap in a 26mm ralliart front anti-sway bar. 2mm difference from a normal lancer's 24mm. you'd better have a larger rear sway bar to balance it out. if anything, you might want a little more oversteer, but at best settle for neutral steering.

Is the ralliart bar a direct swap?

A big from sway is kinda of a waste. Rhyzin is right, you need to go bigger than even our rear sway to make it balanced. Just do the rear bar. Ironically there are time in FWD car racing I would disconnect the front bar completely.

I wouldn't bother as well. if you are interested, i'd assume it'd fit since the control arms and crossmember (where the bar mounts) between the two models are identical. i figure this was fitted to the RA due to the extra weight in the front.

If you want about 1/3 the hassle of replacing the bar with most of the results, see if deyeme is still making the front sway bar busing kit. I think it was blacksheepdj who did the prototyping and said it was a PITA but worth it if you're out of other things to mod suspension-wise (I'm paraphrasing and I haven't heard anything about it in a long time, I could be wrong )

cool man thanks for all the Info... I already have the rear set up. and have some harder bushings in the front. I did not find it that hard to put them in. the only reason I did was because i riped one in a autoX one day. Just was wondering about the front looks like it would not be a good idea! (few that saves me some money!)

Ok so after having a long talk with Rob over at rrm. (thanks man) I decided a turbo is the way to go. Here is the reader’s digest of what I have for engine mods

CAI
Board Throttle body
Board Intake Manifold
Headers
2.5 exhaust
Magniflow muffler
Magnum fuel rail
Walbro 255
Emanage ultimate
P & P head (new valve job)
Adjustable cam gear

It would seem to me that the car is ready for a turbo. I do not know that much about turbos. I cannot do the turbo for a few months, I want to stay in FSP for this season.
I want to know what you guys would do for a turbo kit. I am thinking RRM’s kit with a few extras like cam, low compression pistons and better rods. What do you guys think?
