Actually lighter engine parts do add hp. They lessen the gap between bhp and whp since they are the reason for the gap in the first place.

I believe we cannot use dry kits in our cars. Can't remember why so someone either validate that or tell me I'm full of shit. :)
I would go wet anyway. And look at $500-$1000 for a nice setup. http://www.compperformancegroupstore...NITROUSSYSTEMS

i had a fidanza flywheel in my matrix xrs....7.5lbs vs 13lbs stock....felt like the car dropped 500lbs when i first drove it out of the shop. first gear lift was over in a blink! but i dyno'd the same as all the other matrix guys running with the same mods. as a matter of fact i have a dyno showing my xrs vs another xrs who had more hp....we were both in the same gear for the runs and we graphed the hp/tq vs time instead of rpms.....despite having 5 or 6 less hp, i hit redline about a half second before him....

reduces cost and reduces the heating effect of the engine onto the incoming air, pretty clever really

you try living in a town supported by the "big 3" and own an import, not going to happen untill you are ready to get ran off the road and hazed constantly... we have in our city muliple jeep plants, a GM powertain, and a ford stamping plant... that is just what is in toledo city limits.... hell if you go with in 20 mile radius you will probibly find atleast a dozen that I know of... Domestics own this town.... so there are LOTS of mechanics and parts stores with job security
