What are some good upgrades to my 2005 Acura TSX?

I purchased a used 2005 Acura TSX (it has an automatic, but that is all they had when you buy used you get what they got so no auto tranny insults)|||^ a ricer.





first off, performance chips. you can find some that work and some that doesnt. research a popular brand and find dyno results from customers. a cold air intake will give you 1 or 2 horsepower towards the top end and give you better throttle response and a sporty sound. but for the price of a cai and you just buy a k%26amp;n air filter it will do the same.





next is exhaust, more your engine breathes the more power. you can do single exhaust or dual exhaust. dual exhaust will give you more power but cost more.





then, a shift kit, without one your most likely to get beat by anything. ive raced 302's in my single port v6 and beat them simply because their tranny wouldnt shift out early to get into the power band.





pulleys, if they are any for acura, their a good mod. power all through the rpm.





limit slip differential, im not sure if any fwd has them stock, but a must need for serious power. 2 wheels spinning are better than one, and gives you a much better take off as the power goes to both wheels instead of one.





tires, a modded car isnt nothing with stock tires.





then of course weight reduction, every 10 you lose is 1 imaginary hp you gain, lose 100 gain 10 and a tenth off your 1/4 time.





nitrous, go with a 50 or 75 shot, go to a 100 or more your gonna have problems.





that should get you 15 to 25 hp give or take, each car responds differently to the next.|||air intake and get the performance chip, you could redline it.
