Anything near 220whp N/A equals more reliability problems, more expensive, and a harsher ride.

Definately go for a low boost turbo system. You will be a lot happier with it then N/A
If you really want to stay N/A then nitrous would be a nice way to get up higher

Ive come to the conclusion that if you want factory reliable NA power, you're not getting much more than 160-170 WHP out off this car. Not unless you decide to go crazy with aggresive cams and high comp pistons, forged rods etc.

For some people, 160 WHP is too low. For me, it's perfect on a car that weighs 2500 lbs. A poor mans Elise I say. Doesn't hurt that the tib will still remain reliable and return 26-28 mpgs if you don't treat it bad.

ok well where should i start? i have a CAI and cat back exhaust. what are the next few things i should be looking to get? that way i know what i need to be looking for. thanks

send Chris (Blacktibs) some money for his equal length NA headers and help out a Hyundai Aftermarket company as well (not some cheapo on eBAy sellin OBX headers).

Then, think about a Throttle Body, little things like better spark plug wires, plugs, phenolic spacers, an airram, a short shifter, etc. etc. THen when you do all that come back and ask the same question and we will tell you from there....

headers, throttle body, airram
Patreezy beat me to it I see. A piggyback wouldnt be a bad idea either

short throw would be nice but i have an auto. 02.gif would it be worth it to do a tranny swap and if so should i do that first? thanks

Automatic transmission = piece of garbage.

No wonder you think your car is horribly slow. I can't imagine how slow the Tib is with an auto...

BTW IMO, headers do very little for our cars, except make noise, which is the case with most motor setups. I'd finish off the intake stuff first.
