Getting more ponies thru intakes/exhaust/headers/ECU programming can get costly. And the gains (is it something like 30RWHP?) sound good. But...

Doing an engine swap makes the most sense (to me). You'll get the important bump in torque. There's no replacement for displacement. Plus, you can still sell your engine to offset the cost of a motor transplant. You'll feel the torque a lot more.

My car's too new to think about motor transplants but how would that work in CA? Is it legal to swap in a different motor if the different motor still passes smog?
