My maxhp chip had quite a difference over stock, even ran a little better.

It does not increase throttle response. I had one of these things on my car and it was junk. It makes it difficult to drive smoothly, and not any faster feeling. But that's my opinion

I have a webcam installed in my car, I'd like to say that made a difference. If feels like it did at least. The car pulls till redline instead of the power falling off.

Thats interesting. I thought the throttle cam made quite a noticeable difference.
Well, I noticed it anyways.

Maybe thats a byproduct of driving an NA - you notice even minuscule changes in performance, because you don't have much to start with!

My car is faster right after I wash it. ;-)

The cam just changes the relationship between throttle cable input and throttle opening to make it linear rather than progressive. I used a dremel and made my OEM cam into a "hybrid" cam by cutting of about half of the "finger" that slowed down the early throttle application. +30 HP right there.

if you feel like being adventurous, you can buy a chip-writing software and put some more WOT timing advance on it and with some good gas you might gain a few horses.

imo taking out the rear seats is useless, you lose a place to sit people (however cramped it may be) and it makes the car look unfinished.. Plus have you ever held rear seats, they are pretty much just foam.

The heaviest part of the rear seats is the fold down upper section.

Russell Berry's MAXHP 944 chips are IMO the best out there. Dyno proven results.

Those throttle cams are purely for throttle response only, no power gains.

Suspension and good brakes make these cars faster than others.

Removing excess weight helps too, as stated. The sound deadening material is heavy...factory power seats are @ 50kgs, the original bumpers, spare tire...etc.

i redid the carpet in my car and was shocked at how heavy the original insulation was...tossed it all and replaced with some generic carpet pad, car is just as quiet but probably 30lbs lighter

Well, I guess this depends on how much of the motor you want to keep around.

What about dumping in a 16v engine?
Worth it or no?

I'm trying to figure out how a webcam adds horsepower. I have a webcam but its mostly used at home late night in front of the computer where noone else sees me... J/K!

The supercharger stage 2 kit with 222whp is the max it could go without killing the engine I think. But may be a good thing to upgrade some parts to handle the power in the engine ether way.

If by "people" you mean "hobbits", then yes.
