I bought a 2004 RX-8 a few months ago, and I love it, but it was an automatic which i really didn't love but the price was great 9500 with 45k on the back end needs a little tlc, but other than that its a great car, and I love the way it looks. But this weekend there was a test and tune at Este (which is a drag strip here in Syracuse) And I looked up to see 1/4 mile times. So I thought i would be running, like 15's or 16's. But instead I was running 17.5 on 1/4 mile!!! Ugh my reaction time wasn't the greatest but. I had no power out of the gate. Is there anyone that can help me get more power in the lower rpms. Any Suggestions on what to buy? Without having to buy a turbo or supercharger. Don't have the money for that. But getting Cold Air and Maybe the pulley kit? Will I see improvment? Just looking for the most bang for my buck thats safe for the car.
