Bolt-ons = more HP, What about measurable acceleration improvements?

I'm glad to hear that you guys feel the bolt-ons make a difference. The short of it is that I want to do them. I just can't afford it right

I'm glad to hear that you guys feel the bolt-ons make a difference. The short of it is that I want to do them. I just can't afford it right now. Perhaps I was just looking to rationalize not doing them so I don't wreck my marriage telling lies and spending cash on car mods that my wife will never understand.

Still, the HFCs may just be coming in the next week or two...now I have to figure out how to piece together that ridiculous ratchet aseembly to break those sticky bolts loose...

Travis, as for passing the M3s...that's great. Did you notice an interval improvement in passing those guys with the bolt-ons, or did your driving improve? I think we underestimate the power of a skilled driver at times. When I did the hotlap in a stock 370Z with a pro race driver, he was smoking cars that I was struggling with. Hell, he could hang with some 500hp vettes that were just zipping past people earlier. Likely just a combination of both a faster car and better driving for you though.

Come on! Isn't there a company in Chicago that wants to test their bolt-ons and use my car as the guinea pig???
