Hey guys, I am a newbie with a bunch of questions. I have a stock 99 solara v6 5 speed and I was looking to add a couple bolt ons. I know crap about this platform. Heres a pic of my bone stock engine bay, does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be able to do to the car to get alittle more pep out of it. Thanks guys!

that blower and those 2 turbos...all you're doing is adding resistance to air getting in and out of the engine and the blower is just parastic drag. What you need to do is go on ebay and get an electric supercharger. Since the alternator is constantly charging the battery and providing power, having the electric supercharger running is almost like free horsepower. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more. Don't forget to open up the exhaust, you want that out the engine as fast as possible. Better yet, don't even bother with an exhaust. Infact, remove the headers while you're at it. Air takes path of least resistance. Noise = horsepower. Oh and get some VTEC too. Follow these steps and you'll be running 9's in no time
