Question best way to get another 50 whp for price

so right now i have and 03 evo 8 with:
ACT Extreme clutch
turboback exhaust
aem intake
greddy profec B spec II BC @ 20psi
AMS LICP
tune
sry i forgot to add i already have a 255 fuel pump

i dynoed it and i got 300 whp i want another 50 or maybe a little more what is the next cheapest thing i should do that will get me 50+ whp? I was thinking cams and intake manifold and i would be at 350-375 whp. what do you guys say?

ok im hearing alot of meth or E85. IS METH BAD FOR MOTOR? ALSO DO YOU NEED A CONVERSION KIT TO SWITCH TO E-85? ALSO DOES IT ADD POWER WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF USING E-85 UNTIL NOW.

pump/port your exhaust mani and o2/cams/9bov/tune

cams
ix turbo
e85 w/new tune

I say do all 3 and you will get a good 100 whp.

just for now get a mbc and fuel pump with a new tune and you could have some decent gains

Cheapest route would be alky injection. With e85, you'll need larger injectors so it will cost even more.

My vote would be fuel pump and cams, and/then an Evo 9 turbo, and/then retune.

350-375hp is not enough. Your always going to want more power. Just get a built motor and tranny and upgraded turbo. The more stuff you put in the more its going to break down.

hes looking for "cheap" power, and honestly look @ his mod list, hes missing a few simple things that could help him gain that 50hp hes looking for. As far as the "break down" comment goes, come on man lets be real?? there are so many guys out there with 350+ hp and their cars INCLUDING mine that are very reliable. Simple as this, take good care of your car and it will take good care of you.

I think for now cheapest route you can go is Cams+retune = $600-700. Go with GSC S1 for a stock like idle.
