Nos for first mod?

I did search......

Why should I buy a intake or super cat/catback for only a couple of horses when I could just get a NOS system & get more bang for the buck?

This is a first mod, I will do others later but want instance improvement right away.

Read the "Nitrous..." thread, and make sure you do it correctly if that's what you want to do. It certainly can be done on the 8.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch!

Well you have to decide whether you want that couple of horses anytime of the day or lots more bang for a short period. I say get a turbo!!!

For power Mods I would suggest:
1st) Aluminum Flywheel
2nd) Hi Flow Cat or mid Pipe
3rd) NOS

For a first mod, do the throttle body heater bypass mod: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-throttle-body-bypass-mod-36389/

In hot climate it is a beautiful thing, and costs you near $0.
No matter what some naysayers may say, this definitely works. The car is much stays responsive and does not loose power when hot anymore.
