My question is, it now too late for me to try to get more power from it if I start to drive it a lot hardner now and keep it up? This all is until I get my Blitz SC installed on it, which I just ordered. Please let me know. Thanks! rpalai

It is never to late to search for more power. I had mine for 5K before I got caught up in the mod scene. I spent alot of time here reading posts, sifting through responses on various items out there and then formed a plan to get where I wanted to go. Doing things in moderation as the budget could afford I started with NST pulleys. I wanted to do things to compliment each other and solve little personal owner problems. Wanted better handling, solved that. Wanted a little more power/feel, solved that. Wanted to improve the appearance of some of what I call shortfall areas on the Yaris, did that. All done in stages and again as the budget could afford. Now, can I beat a modified any other car? Me? No, except maybe at the pump. But I like it and really that's all that counts. Am I done spending, looking, reading and or seeking advice in regards to power? No.

Came back to add that the Blitz is not a power addition. To me it's a feel type thing in that it makes you feel that you have more.
