Don't buy a BOV and save yourself 100 bucks instead!

yeah dont buy a BOV, only way to make it scream is going to throw off the computer and make it run bad have stalling issues and what now. i got a full custom 3" exhause downpipe all the way back $2500 AEM Intake $275 (And about a 30 min install) Intercooler + Upper and lower hardpipeing $1500 (Installed) And of corse the tune. street tunes are semi cheap and you will pull power from it but dont tune it until you get your mods set up.

You got a $30,000 or more car. Don't be cheap and make it tacky. Be patient and do it right. The car is already fast.

You're completely right, it doesn't put down that much whp stock...so its not the most powerful thing out there, but then again there's always a bigger fish. But yea, to me fast means how well one can drive it and 0-60 and 1/4 mile times or autox times. You can still be fast without being the most powerful.

Fast enough really depends on the driver.

if your looking for very simple mods that are easy and cheap i would get a new shift knob, short shifter, boost gauge, tints, RA taillights if you have an 08. nice and simple.

That post of yours is dated July 2010 when you supposedly bought an Evo X GSR.

Unless you were lying.
