Its going to cost more than 1000 for a 300hp N/A 5.0. Nitrious is best for fast and easy HP.

But yes a H/C/I combo would benfit alot. Depending on the combo you can see up to 60hp

With the exception of Black Snake... You guys have added NO useful information to this thread

If you want to keep with the low dollar mods and get something out of the car... your first steps should be the basic breathing mods...
CAI, 65mmTB, headers (short tube), O/R X or H pipe, some mufflers (try to be original here... everyone has flowmasters) Check out the SLP Loudmouth exhaust
UDP's, Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, and GEARS... A set of 3.73's will bring your car to life

NOW... with the exception of the gears you can have all of the above for under $1000
Gears will cost another 500-600 with all parts included

But dont stop there... your gonna have a quick car... with NO TRACTION!!!

drop in some Lakewood 70/30 front struts, 50/50 rear shocks, upper and lower control arms, and a set of eibach springs... that shoul;d bring things around in the suspension department. Then pick up a set of tires... Mickey Thompson ET Streests are good... so are Nitto 555r's (even Toyo Proxes RA1's)
