Your gains for all 3 items may total 5-7 hp, for the money spent on all 3 items if you really want performance look into NOS.

Heres the thing I can only afford one right now.

Now what do you think would be my best bet for HP gains?

Im leaning twoard exhaust. Little bit of power and it sounds better.

i prefer driving fun over exhaust sound, so my vote would be the B&M short shifter :)

i guess it really matters what you consider performance. to me nitrous oxide is just for speed, for performance id consider new rotors, lighter wheels, lighter CAR(stripping), but thats just me.

Get the bosal.
It's the most expensive of the three.
Then your pockets will not feel that much when you keep on buying stuff.

Why not look at the J-spec cam with the Mazdaspeed Exhaust cam.
Or Mazdaspeed Pistons.

If you get these two then you'll get better results when you add those three.

well SMITHERS...HERES the thing....your engine is a PUMP of sorts....ANY restriction cuts down on flow....for you to REALLY do any good you need to match things from the intake all the way to the tailpipe.....SO...IF you can only do ONE of these at a time....I would start with the exhaust....it will allow the exhaust gasses to escape EASIER.....make a few HP...but it will DEFINATELY sound a lot better....

THEN do the intake, then the shifter.

I can tell you, you will LOVE all three of those mods....I did them all at the same time on my P-5.....

btw...unless you plan on doing some serious racing on a track...stay away from N2O.

i would go with either the intake or the shifter...the intake sounds great once you open up the engine...i would get the shifter if you can't stand the long throw on the stock...bleh...let us know what you get...whatever you choose...you can't go wrong though

I'd try to find the coin for both the intake and the exhaust. But if I had to decide, I'd start with the exhaust.

Hang tight on the shifter for a little longer.
we should have the Kartboy Shifter finished iin the near future.
WITH shifter bushings. pricing should be about 125.00.

i will make the final announcemnt when they are avalable.
