Put a turbo or supercharger on it if you want to notice a difference. Dynoed my car with header, intake, exhaust, and Testpipe and 109.3 hp 114.4ftlbs. at the wheels. My car definately feels stronger than stock and I am getting better 1/4 mile times than other lancers so this is what to expect.

Then almost no matter what you do to the Lancer OZ will satisfy your cravings for power...

I wouldn't bother with the header unless you get the throttle body, manifold, and ecu reflash first. Otherwise, you'd be sacrificing a lot of torque.

eh, I used to have a '89 Trans Am GTA with WS6 suspension, and I take comfort in knowing that my lighter weight Lancer can still outcorner it any day.

Oh I know... My bone stock AW11 MR2 can out-handle my GTi VR6 any day (and my GTi had adjustable coilovers, strut braces, sway bars, bushings, properly aligned). Wish my MR2 had more ***** though.
