300rwhp n/a=stage 2 heads and cams with a tune. So thats easily attainable. But with the new trickflow heads, you can get to 330-350 with the same stuff. so thats what im going for.

Which is quick. But I made 350 when I first bought my blower on along with a catback and prochamber and was fun for a couple months then I wanted more.

But since I had blower I just changed the pulley and voilą! 390. This same blower has been on my car for 5 years and now I finally maxed out at 600. which I will upgrade to a T-trim and try for 675 or so.

Blower or turbo is the way to go on these cars. Nitrous works but runs out and takes all the fun out of it on a street car plus for me I would have bought enough bottles by now to buy two SC's lol.

The na route cost more to get to 350 and you will never have the same potential unless it's combined with boost later..

I paid 3200 for my first SC setup the trickflows are estimated to be 2200-2500 alone.

Skip the bolts on, skip the heads, cams intake etc, Get the boost first. Also a lot easier to install. Then when you had headers you'll actually see 25hp like they advertised. When I first did my cams after the blower. I went from 431 to 516 with no others changes. That makes it feel better after dropping 650 bucks and a new tune.

Without the blower I would be around 320 and the other stuff cost alot more lol.

If you don't drive too much, why spend the money on the car? Usually if you want to put $5,500 in a car (and it's not a classic), you want to drive it a lot (if you are able to that is).

Anyway, blower would be your best bet for the money.

PI swap and gears will get you a good start on the build.
