1.5,
I definitely agree about a few horses make a huge difference. In our case, you can't look at raw numbers. Percentages work great though. I have heard that a stick shift yaris has about 90hp at the wheels. If I can get myself to 105, that is an increase of ~16.5%. That is significant regardless of any other factor. The weight is a huge advantage too. I can't really lighten my load any as I use all the seats (on occasion).
A good friend of mine (the one that helped with the exhuast) pointed out that I am at the point where I need to either be happy with the small bolt-ons or go big. I don't think I will be happy putting that kind of money into the fic and only seeing minimal gains.
I am intrigued by the intake manifold but am having a hard time justifying that type of money for something that I am not 100% sure about (power wise). I have heard to expect around $500 for it. There again, that may change up or down some. I also would love to see a dyno graph of swapping the manifold and to a 1ZZ throttle body.
