Default Easy 300 HP?

What is the easiest and least expensive way to obtain about 275-300 HP with a N/A engine?

Add another hamster so there will be two...

I don't think there is a cheap way for 300.

Probably heads, intake (man and cai), exhaust and cam.

But the cheapest easiest way to hit it without NOS is a supercharger, but that wouldnt be NA

Supercharger would be same price as what I listed above.

Holley systemmax, package of H/C/I, will give you 345horse. THe edlebrock will give about 340 horse. THere are many H/C/I packages that will give you 350hp to the flywheel.

250rwhp with 3.73 or 4.10 gears and street radials (or a good set of sticky streets tires) should get you to be ahead of most of the crowd.
