Default Looking to squeeze 400hp(or more) naturally aspirated (HELP)

Ok I can't afford a supercharger/turbo and it's real difficult getting away with one in Dubai as well. Hence, I'm trying to get a list of bolt ons to invest in which offer maximum HP. This is the list of mods I have in mind. What else do you guys suggest?

CAI+Tune
***** Thumpa Cams
JBA LT Headers + Catted H Pipe
Steeda U/D pulley
3.73 gear
Steeda motion delete plates
BBK throttle body

Also, how much HP do you reckon all the above adds to a stock 07 GT?

i think you will get around 330 rwhp out of that combo above.
no need for the throttle body.

for 400+ hp you should give this a try. it is expensive, tho.
426 rwhp/ 394 rwtq

you live in dubai and cant afford a supercharger? everyone there has gold toilets and sleeps on feather beds made of real clouds..

you should probably just save up for the SC instead of pumping money into NA that wont even get you there. have you priced out that mod list? that looks well into the $2-3k range

For your power goals, it will probably come out a wash (even money) to do a NA build versus a Supercharged build.

400 hp don't come cheap.....whether by FI or NA.

400 HP N/A, I wouldn't spend my money on it.

Go forced induction, spend less money for better results, period! You will NOT have the low rpm torque with a N/A build as you will with a forced induction build.

This topic has been discussed more than once on these forums. I would advise a search on the topic to see the debate always ends at the same conclusion. Go forced induction, or go home.

I agree for your power goals it will coast pretty much the same to SC the car.

F.I. is NOT always the way to go. You can get to the same power level for about the same cost. and just as efficiantly.
And yes you can gt the same low RPM torque. Especially if your SC was
a centri.

I would advice YOU do some research and not just on forums.

400hp n/a is easy. 100 shot nitrous. Im sure alot of people tend to think that nitrous is f/i its definately n/a. There when you need it, cheaper than a supercharger/turbo, and doesnt put more load on the drivetrain when just cruisin around.
