I have until Oct. 5th to get my 'Tour running fast.
Its the last racing event for sport compact cars here in th Portland area.
I've been saving for asecond car so money has been tight.
But now its time to kick the moding into overdrive.

So far my only real perfromance enhancing mods are;
Intake
Exhaust
Heat Shield
Oil Cooler
Synthetic fluids
Superchip

My future mods (to be done before Oct 5th);
E-Ram
Quaife
Nitrous
New heat shield

These take about just about all of the $2000 in budget I have.
Is there anything else I should consider? (Besides a turbo)
Anything else I should do to prep my car to safely run a 75 shot of Nitrous?

Most of the cars I'll be running against will be Preludes, Accords, Civics, and Integras.
The most common performance mods are header, intake, exhaust, chip, and NOS.
I just want to make a good showing and maybe win a couple races too.

What are my chances with the mods I got listed?

Nitrous and Quaife would be the best out of those mods. E-ram won't do jack compared to the nitrous. wink

Hector

forgot to add so as to allow you to drive home from the track DO NOT DUMP the clutch!!!!! launch at about 2k that's what I do.... if you start to get wheel hope shut down foot off the gas... wheel hop = broken tranny. launch at 2k and ease the clutch out.
