ive been looking for a bit now and all ive gotten is the basics. either an exhaust, air intake or turbo. now im not going to do a ka-t cuz i dont want to spend alot of money. i have a 1989 240sx coupe 5speed with 118000km. im getting a catback exhaust and a cold air intake. what else can i add to get more horsepower? and i herd that all chips do is make you run richer. ---
