That is exactly what I'm saying ! Is there any recommendations about a specific air filter ? spark plugs ? Chip tuning ? Body throttle ?
By the way, having all these mods done will on paper develop around 250 hp, which almost meets the N52 254 , should i expect same performance ?

maybe it was different conditions when you raced? check your car all around: oil change, tire pressure, filters. running the correct octane? Did you have passengers in? Too many different factors.

as for upgrades there's not much you can really do to add 30-40hp. RPI scoop, K&N or BMC filter, high flow cats, some aftermarket exhaust, bms powerbox? Maybe will give you 15-20hp? orrr you can always supercharge
