Drive your mom's SUV for 2 weeks, then return to the Evo, it will feel fast as hell.

I second my above statement, being that you blew 7,000 dollars on the following:

ok heres some stuff i ended up getting;
OEM Carbon Fiber hood
18” Enkei RS7 Performance Rims with Anthracite(black)
Tyrant Carbon Fiber Vortex Generator
Varis EVO Carbon Fiber Front Lip
Varis EVO Carbon Fiber oil Cooler Guide
Carbon Fiber License Plate Frame(it goes behinde the plate area)
Varis EVO Carbon Fiber Air Cleaner Guide
Varis EVO Carbon Fiber Hyper Canard
Painted Brembo Breaks to match exterior’s “lightning yellow”
Painted Console to match exterior
Suede seats inserts to match exterior
NOS
Sparco Harness Bar(painted to match exterior)
Racing Pedals
Sparco Clubman 4-point Harnesses(black w/ yellow)
Evo MR JDM Headlight Set
Evo MR taillight Set
HKS Hi-Power Catback Exhaust System
AEM Short Ram air induction system
Greddy Turbo Timer
Pretty sure that the Exhaust, Short Ram, and NOS are all performance mods too...

Maybe you should've spent 7,000 on something else? Or at least left 300 for an ECU flash tune... I don't mean to be so harsh, as I am sort of in the same boat, I spent 3000 on my stereo system, and now I'm scrapped for cash for performance stuff, lessons learned I guess eh? That, and my TC failed about 4 weeks ago, so I had to pay for that.

take out your spare, jack.. depending on how much you care.. take out your other seats.. only drive with half a tank gas...you won't gain hp.. but you'll go faster.. you could also sell all the stuff you replaced and get an mbc and safcII

i discredit the list of mods, can we see installed pics, i think you are full of it, NOS, dont make me laugh,


edit, ok i looked at your posts, i see some of your curious george mods, where are these other "performance mods" i dont see your "NOS" bottle hooked up. why didnt you get a stand alone management system, or you could have overnighted parts from Japan with all that money you had.

to answer the question, no.

but if you need money, sell every piece of carbon fiber from your car and replace it with the stock piece, then you'll have plenty of money

You could remove the flapper in the muffler, that's worth about 5 hp.

you could have a Test pipe made at a muffler shop, should cost you say max. $50 and that will open up you exhaust quite a bit. Remove your power steering, and A/C.
