SSRA or CHRS1313 ram air are often overlooked. Electric water pump or an underdrive pulley may be a good option.

I will assume you have a tune, but if you don't that would be a nice place to pick up power

The ram air installs in front of your radiator and scoops air from just below the front bumper. I can take a picture if you would like, or search for other threads if you want.

looks cool but I really don't want to sacrifice my A/C I know they make compatible ones but I don't know if its really worth $218 for .178 sec increase and 1 MPH in speed lol i may look into electronic water pump.

If you won't justify the money for a non AC ram air then don't even look into electric water pumps.

I mean in reality it is my daily driver, I am not looking to make it fully blown racecar and take the A/C out and gut it out. I just want to add some more horses if possible without tearing the engine apart.

You don't have to take the AC out to run a ram air setup.

In terms of power no, because a ram air effect is not measured on a dyno. Ram air setups that retain the AC have a gain of .1-.2 ET and 1-2 MPH.
That's a very significant gain in my opinion.

Also look into tubular suspension for losing weigh, racing seats, or losing rotational weight. All can be done without sacrificing and daily driving amenities.

iirc it works off of pressurization, so on a dyno you might not see a gain, but at the track youll see a tenth and 1-2 mph

And if you dont want to sacrifice weight then add n2o
