I guess my sarcasm was lost on some. Oh well<g>

Point was that you have a guy with 2008 car. Perhaps he bought it new,
perhaps not. In any case we know he came into possession of it, by his
own free will, in the past seven months or so.

If he wanted performance, why the hell did he buy a 2.4L car. Now he
wants to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You want performance,
buy performance. You want to tweak a performance car, that's one thing.
This is entirely another.

It's one thing to tune up a ride if you know what you're doing. If you
have to ask such an ambiguous question - as did the OP - it's pretty
obvious that they're going to have a problem down the road...
