Default I want acceleration

How can I get better acceleration from an F22A4 4G-CB generation engine?

Get mods that will increase your torque. A bigger throttle body is a start. You can also lose the weight, rip out seats, panels, chuck out the spare tire. Carbon parts, lightweight alloy rims.

What are some good lightweight racing seats, and where can I go near Kansas City to find carbon fiber body parts? My car has all the bells and whistles, one of which includes alloy wheels. Would I need to chuck the spoiler as well?

Well first of how much are you willing to spend? Carbon parts go easily for 5-700 and racing spec seats can go from 400-->>>

Right now, I'm on a tight budget, only about $400/month, so I'm limited as to what I can buy.

400/month on car parts, or 400/month to live?

if its for parts then its a good start.

gut the car to before wasting money.


horn, rear seat, carpet, sound insulation, trunk, speakers, interior, jack, spare, window washer juice/sprayer, A/C, etc

when you can't add more power get less porky

a turbo works wonders. but you can gut your interior as mentioned cut down on quite a bit even though the list is a bit overkill.
