    Anyone modding their RXP will quickly learn that there is no cheap way to make these machines go faster. In my experience and the things that "I know" worked with my RXP are as follows.
    1. Filled ride plate holes = $10
    2. OPAS blockoffs = $100
    3. 4" DYI intake = $250
    4. Thru Hull exhaust and waterbox mod = $ 250
    5. Greenwheel/Gen II supercharger wheel = $600
    6. Ext intercooler = $450 (found a new one unused)
    7. 15/20R Solas prop tweaked = $400

    Basically each one of these add ons made a substantial difference. Depending on how much you wanna spend and how much time you have to locate these parts the sky is the limit with performance options. Search ebay, forums and local reputable dealers for the best buy. Also helps if you can fit these parts yourself as labour is costly.

    IMO if I was to do things on a budget id do all the free mods, then 4" intake and supercharger wheel straight off. These will instantly give you a performance gain with minimal adverse effects for under $1k. Then when the speed bug bites you can re finance your home and keep on modding.

    Best of luck.

    Best abng for the bucks is external intercooler, A-kit R charger impeller. Fill the 6 large holes in the ride plate plus the other 10mm holes at rear of the intake grate.
    Add 2 degrees to the initial throttle body opening.

    This is seat of the pants feeling, plus a bit of top end speed.
