At best, a product that can potentially clean clogged injectors. The chances of yours being dirty enough to affect performance are pretty close to zero.
Other than minor (~5 HP) improvements through aftermarket add-ons, the best strategy is selling yours and finding a type R in good condition.

Yup, simple answer is, sell it and buy an R... otherwise, you're just throwing money away trying to do up a naturally aspirated 3.0L ina 4,000lb luxury car...

>3.0 is Ford engine, easy to repair and cheap parts.
But no performance parts are available.
My advice would be to find a custom exhaust shop and have them design a free-er flowing exhaust.
Your car would end up, at least, sounding better (and may actually pick up 5-10 hp).

My suggestion for cheap performance top-up
Hi there,
Make sure Tire Air Pressure is correct. Keep it to maximum specified...
Even 2-3 psi gain back to normal will make your car and any car feel younger by few years..
Check air pressure often to keep it topping.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but remember that you will get better performance with the trans in Sport Mode.
My 2003 3.0 V6 is a very peppy engine, but if I wanted to pretend I was driving a sportier car, I'd shift the J-gate manually. If you do, make sure you frequently check the tightness of those shifter cable bolts on the trans.

Rear mount turbo. Thinking of putting an sts on the r. Haven't read about one done yet. Could almost get another str for the price though. STSTurbo.com: Buy Custom Turbo Systems for Sale
