looking to go fast

As of right now the engine bay of my 93 mx-3 1.8 v6 is stock. What types of things have people done for noticable results?

you can swap in a 2.5L v6 from a probe gt or mx-6<P>you can add an intake (K&N, PRM, whatever)<P>Cat-back exhaust (JCWhitney.com)<P>Nitrous (Zex makes a really good kit)<P>Phenolic Manifold Spacers<P>Ignition (spark plugs, wires, etc) I don't think these add any power at all, but they made my car run a whole lot better

Does anyone have that Cat-Back from JCWhitney.com? It's a good price and it looks nice....How does it run?

i was referring to engine mods that deal with timing, certain intakes and exhausts sounding better and performing better, basically power gains. i am familiar with what works on german imports and domestics, and i just need some opinions before i start making another car go fast. Thanks

I don't care about sound. My stock exhaust sounds better than any after market one i've ever heard. (I guess there's a hole in it or something?) It's not TOO loud but it has a kind of turbo sound and it turns heads. I think I might be loosing back-pressure though.<p>[ April 05, 2002: Message edited by: Q187 ]
