I know this may sound like beating a dead horse, but I was wondering what else I could do to my Tib as far as modding it went? The n/a route exactly....I will go through the list that nisco and tibby01 put out, but I just put on a CAI....what else could I do to it?

Look at it this way-Your engine is like a pump. By reducing the restrictions and increasing the flow, you make more power. You could start with the exhaust system. Different brands will achieve different sounds & gains. I went with a Borla Cat-Back & HotShot Headers with a high flow cat. I probably gained around 25 HP. The drawback is that it's much louder. When I'm in a parking garage I set alarms off left & right. On the intake side you can go with ported & polished upper & lower intake manifolds & larger injectors. You have to do some fuel tuning.

Thanks guys :biggrin:
Say nisco> could you give me the "list" as to what pertains to the n/a route please? I remember a lot of people asking about mods and you would supply them with the list of n/a, turbo or s/c, etc. etc.

i hope you mean 25 at the crank, cause there is no way you gained that at the wheels.
anyway. get an exhaust. there arent many available for us RD'ers right now, but we have mussa working on one, and ARK already has one.
you can always get the ssautochrome headers off of ebay. a little modification is needed, but for 100 bucks its worth it.
the mojor list of na mods:
intake
exhaust
headers
BBTB
spark plugs and wires
pulleys
bored intake manifold
lighter wheels will help a lot

BBTB=Big Bore Throttle Body. It's basicly a larger inside diameter throttle body. This will allow a larger volume of air and a smoother air flow into the IM.
