I think your recent quote -

"My rx8 is using up WAY too much gas."

means you should stay well away from power mods.......

Direct port nitrous, water/meth injection, and CO2 lines through intake mani.

Pfft. Good luck with that.

Truth is, you want any observable, cost effective, and SAFE gain, go for FI.

(and please try a little research first next time)

Not much help? The "guys" are just saying that this topic has been discussed over and over again in other threads.

The largest net HP gain you'll get without FI is removing the cat for a straight pipe. Air intake, cat back, and even rotor balancing won't get you very much all.
Also, any way you can make the lighter will obviously help too: less lbs = free speed, but again, very marginal.

What do you mean "computer upgrade?" Like some racing chip or something?
And disconnecting your battery doesn't fully reset your ECU. It does re-learn its fuel trims, but you should do a proper reset.

/\ why do people think that the computer is such a fool .............
Resetting it is a temporary thing - it will always go back to the same settings it had before anyway - all things being equal .

oh dear ... if you think disconnecting the battery does anything... there's a lots of ebay peps that have stuff for you... like improving your mileage 40% with magnets and water, gaining 60Hp with a resistor, and putting spacers in your throttle body for more of whatever you need, plus grounding the hell out that sucker for HP improvements beyond belief (really!).
