Get Test Pipes and a Gruppe M Ram Air Induction Charger.

You'll gain around 25hp and ALSO the induction kit does absolute wanders for the torque curve on the F355- I don't like ECU upgrades, I think they shorten the life of the engine internals - typically they get their extra power by messing around with burn rates and rev limits - not a big fan of these.

Mark:

Ask Jon about the chip. I've got essentially the same set up (1996) and I've done a little head work. the chips are worth a little more, but some of them don't work well. Make sure you test on a dyno before you buy.

Get a chip for the computer. I think the name of the company is SuperChips in England? You are supposed to be able to get about 20hp more.

I have replaced both the exhaust - Tubi & air filter - K&N on my F355, and to my mind this gave a small increase in performance. Is there anything else I can do to up performance further, that will not detract from either reliability or drivability of the car?
