Unhappy Car needs to be FASTER!!!!

After doing the latest mods, I have come to the conclusion...I need to go faster. I have pretty much done every free mod available, and done almost every other mod. "See Sig" What can I do to my car to give it better top end, and mid range?! Besides No2, Turbo, Blower. or any totally insain engine rebuild. I am trying to keep my car NA. Any input would be great.

4.10 gears
different cam
3000+ stall converter
remove the front sway bar, tremendously helps with weight transfer, allowing the front to rise more under accelleration (the feel of going faster)

Is that true? Hmmm.. I may have to look into removing mine.. I never understood why people removed theirs..

I wouldn't even think of taking off my sway bar. It would make youir car so sloppy in the turns....

Unless you drive it just at the track dont take off the S.B.

Car WILL be fine with no sway bar and 90/10's if you want.I don't suspect you will be showing up at Luguna Seca in the near future.

Ditto. Even with my swaybar long gone, my TA handles better than any other car I have driven (except a friends WRX ). Chances are you will forget you don't have a swaybar unless you are doing some serious autocross.

Those numbers seem right if you're at the altitude I'm thinking.

I'd say ported heads with a bigger cam and a PCM reflash.

Its not as bad as you think. If you are just driving around normally you won't really notice its off until you put it back on and think "oh yeah, this is what its supposed to feel like" .

exactly
i have tubular k-member and a-arms and it still handles fine
it could be better with the front sway bar
but all in all its not like taking it off turns the car into a bus or something
