Icon7 02 Rsx-S any faster?

I have a few mods but I want to be able to keep up to my friends 350Z.. I don't want to spend too much money like getting a turbo.. I don't know what other cheap mods I could do to make it faster... Thanks for your help

Mods are:
Injen Cold Air Intake
DC Race Header
Custom exhaust with buddy club muffler
Motor mount inserts
Camber Kit
Eibach Pro kit lowering springs

I know a kpro tune will help you out if your not yet tuned.

the KRRH header is not better..I absolutely hated that header. Fit like ****.




I would say, bore out TB, RBC IMG, Hondata IMG gasket and a real tune. And better bigger exhaust

Stripping the interior for the race always works!! lol But I'd do larger TB, ITM , reflash(kpro if you have the money), and some aggressive cams.

If you are racing your buddy's 350 from a roll, then you should be up to par with him (depending on his mods). I'd say learn the shift points of his car and yours and do a roll race from where the advantage is on your side, lol.

Or both go to the track and see how you do.

P.S. - Your best and cheap mods will be practice and weight reduction. Drop a duece before hand.

so because you didnt like it that makes it not as good? not a fan, save some money for even better quality and flow, get skunk2 megapower header or toda...as i state again, more air flow is better, RRC is better than RBC....

most of the mods we are mentioning for the OP will need kpro to yield best results and make the car run properly

Sorry to just interrupt, but I've noticed several people mention new intake manifold gasket, what's the benefit of this unless one is removing the intake manifold? Is through stock one too small for the ports?

stock ones are usually made out of paper and end up burning away so the seal isn't that great, benefit from the hondata img is a lil bit more power, its thicker and doesnt burn away, also keeps temps down a lil
