Easy power for the 2.3L (2010 Mazda5)

[chapel]

I figured I'd be better off here than the Mazda5 forum.
Was wondering if there's any decent power upgrades for the 2.3L that don't involve a turbocharger.
My wife really loves her 5, but wishes it had more balls.
I feel like another 20-30hp would be adequate.
Any cams, intakes, throttle bodies, tuning, etc... that could get us there?

I vote for light-weight wheels. Acceleration can be notably improved and ride and braking will also benefit. Are you currently running OEM wheels? If so, find out how much they weigh and start shopping.

that's actually not a terrible idea...
What's the lightest OEM Mazda 17?

You can get OEM-sized wheels at 14.6 lbs each.

I'll bet that's significantly lighter than factory wheel.

We have cams, rods, pistons, and pretty much anuything you need to make your 2.3 a screamer. We also have full remote tuning, and have tuned more Mazdas than anyone in the world
