Bolt-ons = more HP, What about measurable acceleration improvements?

there are four areas i've been initially focused on with mine... power, weight, suspension, and more efficient shifting

As for track performance, the most bang for my buck has been in suspension... general rule is tires make the biggest difference, followed by reduced unsrpung weight, then stiffer suspension with flatter cornering (sway bars)... I think I've gotten more time off my track times from suspension work than power/weight... still on stock tires, so it only gets better

Re power and weight... first, 0.5 secs off 0 to 60 is a pretty big deal IMO! I suspect that is about where my car is at... if in addition to adding that much power, you can pull some weight off the car, the difference is unmistakable... I have no problem keeping up with and passing new M3s on the track... I even got by a GTR a couple track days ago... once I have another 200-300 lbs and hopefully another +10-15 hps, this car is going to rip!

I appreciate your skepticism, but I think the gains we've all been making are worth the investment and paying off in real performance
