Hello Everyone,

First off I would just like to say thankyou for everyone who posts on this web site, I have found out so many different things just by reading other posts. Again this is a great site, thankyou all.

Anyway,
I own a '96 Celica GT with a 5s-fe. I currently have:
NGK Plugs
Catback exhaust 2.25" pipeing
CAI
Header

My car has 148,000 miles on it and I was just wondering how I can get some more horse power out of it without swapping and without throwing in a turbo (seems like alot of miles to turbo, prolly a waste...). At this point I am kind of out of ideas. I was thinking of putting an MSD ignition box in, however I was reading on here that I will see little to nothing by doing so. I also thought about adding one of those "racing chips". Again, I read on this site that these are crap.

I am pretty much learning as I go. Every performance upgrade to my car I have performed (except exhaust) so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciated...

Jebus, you are so misinformed. The fuel is easy to get right. If you run a wet kit, the supplied pills that care of it. Thus, you do NOT need any dyno time or tuning or even an AFC.

And if you're smart, you can easily hide it. I've installed a bunch of kits for street racers who wanna sandbag. None of their victums ever know about the nitrous. None of my clients have had any complaints

If nitrous was so dangerous, you wouldn't see it on every f-body.

And so you know, even if tech's are checking the intake pipe, there's other places on the intake mani to put it.

You're very misinformed and I would think you'd notice.
