If you want to stay naturally aspirated, it will cost about $6000 (installed) to max out around 375rwhp/375rwtq, on the stock rotating assembly/bottom end. For about the same price you can get 450rwhp/450rwtq with a blower, or for about $3500 you can get around 450rwhp/550rwtq with nitrous and supporting modifications.

For power:
intake
throttle body
pulleys
electric water pump
aluminum 1pc driveshaft
17in wheels/low-pro tires
long tube headers
off-road midpipe
cams
ported/polished heads
dyno tune

You can also do a clutch/flywheel to better control the power and add a couple extra horses. Add some gearing to use your power more efficiently to accelerate much faster.

I'm at 345.9 rwhp N/A and am pulling better times than most blown s197's at the track.

Anyways I have the following "engine" mods:

American Racing Longtube Headers w/ Catted X-Pipe
JLT II CAI
CompCams Stage 3
CompCams Springs/Retainers
FRPP CMCV Delete Plates
Steeda UDP's
Dynotuned with SCT Software

I have about $1,000 in my suspension as well...

Sorry, Adam03GT, I don't have a direct answer for you on building power and staying N/A.

However, for all the people that just say a supercharger is the only way to make real power and you're stupid if you build power any other way, I was wondering if the reliability of a F/I motor would be equivalent to that of an N/A motor? If you plan on using the car for a daily driver, wouldn't building power via N/A means be the more logical way to go, given the increased pressure and other hazards supercharger systems add to the motor?

I was thinking the same thing... Im sure with the right conservative tune and such it could last years. But i still doubt the supercharged Gt would outlast an N/A one.
