bolt ons only? if you consider a head swap a bolt on maybe. a well matched HCI swap will get your goal easily of 300+ and will cost on average 2-4k+. but if you want to go cheap as possible to 300 you need a couple simple bolt ons and a 125-150 wet shot will get your there around 1k maybe less if you're thrifty.

my good bud's a mechanic. he'll help me, or should i say i'll be helping him lol.
no nos, naturally aspirated.
what does HIC mean? head/intake/cam?
how much horse should i be pushing with a bigger meter, intake, pulleys, headers, h-pipe or high flow cats, and mufflers?
big thanks,

correct on the meaning. normally stated as HCI, heads cam intake.
not sure on exact numbers, but a big maf a t/b etc wont do a whole lot if the base engine can't pull in the air the meter and t/b are trying to let in

redpony88: "it was like i said man, a hci swap. and the gt-40 will achieve that goal pretty well. the basic e-303 cam, gt-40 heads whichever you want, and a cobra intake. maybe hit 340hp and wont SUCK gas down". end quote.
thats what i'm talkin' 'bout. but dam that smells like money lol.
