hey first of all, welcome to the family! you've come to the right place to get the most out of the vibe.performance seems to depend on how much $$$ you're willing to spend. lets see, you're off to a good start. cai or sri will net you a couple hp at the top end, you can add an exhaust system, headers and unichip to get the most out of all of it.or you can go supercharger to up your base to like 150hp, which a few of the members have also done, but its getting harder to find one since they've been discontinued. i believe a couple other members have also turbocharged their vibes.good luck. there's more knowledgeable folks on this forum they'll be giving better advice real soon.post pics

welcome to the board. by vibe sport do you mean its a GT? have any pics of it not covered in snow? for the GT the stock header is pretty good and aftermarket doesnt provide any gains but an exhaust will and a unichip would allowe timmings to be tweaked and optimised so you could gain a few hp from that too

The GT never came in auto. Anyways,depends what you want from your Vibe,most common things are:Intakes-cosmo,K&N,injen,aem,trd.Exhaust-cat back,axle back,HeaderSome form of engine management to make all that stuff work together,unichip,camcon,emanage,etc.Pulleys-underdrive,lightweightStep it up one and go supercharger,turbo.Then you get into dress up items.Have a look around here,there is lots of info to help you personalize your ride.

Welcome to the board.Not many options:supercharger, turbo, and/ nitrous are about the only things that will give you any significant power gains. Otherwise there's: exhaust systems, uni-chip, intakes, cams, stuff like that that don't give much increase in power unless combined with other things.
