Easy way for +1 psi

MOVE YOUR FREAKING FLOOR MAT. Yep, I said it.

I noticed my floormat was kinda thick and that it extended under my gas pedal.

Hmmm I thought.

I moved my floor mat back some so the pedal could hit the floor. And I saw another pound of boost.

Heck yeah. Free mod ftw.

Would it help if you changed it to a Type R floor mat and adjusted it to the correct angle?!

^^^LMAO. Possibly adding Type R pedals from autozone for added downforce on the floor could be a "Stage 2" upgrade...

the pedal is holding you back now. cut it off and re-angle it.

Yeah, and if you give it the angry "Either make more power or I toss you in the scrap heap" look, it might actuually take you serious and cough up another 20 horse or so!

I currently don't have a drivers side floormat. Can I remove the passenger side for .5 psi gain?

So that means my neghbor's Civic must be making at least 1000hp because his wing is fricken huge. I'd bet I could rip it off the trunk, jump off a cliff, and go hang gliding with my 300lb @zz.

nice. i hate my floormats. i was ticked off one day and i hit the throttle hard and let up on the clutch but the pedal didnt follow my foot. i thought i broke the damn thing. so needless to say i looked real dumb when i revved the crap out of my car (stock exhaust too) and then the pedal unstuck from the floormat and i stalled out. it always slides up in the way.
