coils.....what engine do the 1.8 coils come on and what's the differences?
hi flow catted midpipe & cat back exhaust, major headwork, p&p the intake manifold & remove VTCS, tranny fluid cooler/AMSOIL atf/lentech valve body upgrade, 1.8 coil swap/NGK wires/long reach plugs, throttle body bored out, ground wires. Some of this is longevity, some is smoother operation, some is a little bit of hp. Nothing really bumps hp that much other than a turbo kit (with low boost to not destroy the tranny). Sorry, just the way it is. No magic pills & the FSDE doesn't like nitrous either. What it lacks under the hood it makes up for under the wheel wells. Welcome to the forums.
All of what you just said was also included in post 3................Honestly, all that seems like a waste of time. Why P&P on a N/A? You want velocity not volume. And running better plug wires doesn't even result in a noticeable gain. Ground wires... not needed. I would suggest new motor mounts though if you haven't already. Want more out of your auto? Drop in a MT and then turbo it.

Not saying it was a bad suggestion. IMO, the amount of time/work/money involved vs. the gains is a wash at best & would be simpler to just go get another that is already manual. Again, it wasn't the primary question in the thread. I'm assuming based upon the original question about modding an auto that he wasn't going after doing a tranny swap but doing the best he could with what he already had. My answers have channeled in that direction.why is it such a bad suggestion?
AT > MT would make the car significantly quicker: better gearing, no torque converter loss, + 100% more fun to drive
granted it would be a lot of work
