Forget engine modifications. They can be done, and have a small effect, but the cost is exponential to the power increase.

However, a "performance" mod that would be useful is one that deals with the suspension. The Pilot "wallows". You can easily feel this by driving at speed (at least 30mph) and turn right/left quickly; the body rotates on the horizontal plane a fair bit. Part of this is probably due to the large profile tires - has anyone noticed an improvement with lower profile tires? Part of it may not be the tires, and if so, does anyone know of a suspension modification to eliminate some of the wallowing?
