Your thread's going to get moved.

Need a little bit more to go off of. Budget? Street/strip build?

your gonna get a bunch of different answers because the turbo or supercharger question is very opionated. are you looking for 400hp from the crank or to the ground? to try to get close tom 400 rear wheel hp i would go with a set of aluminum heads, maybe a set of gt40s. pretty good bang for your buck. a cam, and inatake. the intake is another preference thing. im happy with my trick flow though. from there you could get a used blower kit to save money or buy new if you have the money. you could go with a 6-9lb kit and get good power without really having to have an intercooler/aftercooler, but if youre trying to save money and make power safely i would go with a meth injection kit. decent heads cam intake with 8lbs of boost with meth injection and a good tune you should be up around 400rwhp. but i would stay with the manual honestly. you can get some really strong manual transmission now. i know some lucky people that keep their stock t5s behind decent horsepower and they last a long time. but if you have a strong t5 now i would sell it. alot of people buy them and then i would use that money for a stronger 5 speed like a tko. sorry for rambling on just trying to give you a bunch of info quickly

To get 400RWHP it can be done N/A but it's going to take more of a budget than $5K.
The C-4 is a step in the right direction IMHO........
