What would it take to make 450-500whp?
There is a lot of info in this thread that is useless. There is a ton of ways to get there. Do you want a bomb or something you can beat on day in and day out no questions. By people saying 35r's and bigger turbos thats not really true, there are many people on here with FP greens that are getting serious power out of them yet maintaining the factory "fun" level like FJF keeps saying. seems everyone with over 400whp has mods in their sig so just click around the site and read sigs on how people got there... there will be no one way to do it and yes you can spend 2500 or 6,7,8,9,10000+ on a build for the same number (just read the sigs that say stock block BOOM!)
In some peoples eyes, the number is everything. The experienced build a car for a purpose, inexperienced build it for the number. Youve posted enough hate to know this is true.

Interestingly enough I think people go from no mods in their sig because they are near stock to every single mod listed in the sig, and then back to no mods listed in their sig because they have too many to fit. Tons of cars with over 400 whp these days because stock frame turbos can make those numbers easily on pump gas without losing drivability.

Do a hta3582 I have it on my stock block with mild hks272 cams that you would never tell I had. I make 475whp+ on the stock block while keeping my rods very happy compared to the torque these stock frame turbos are making while maintaining good spool for a 35r turbo with ridiculous top end power.
Not the easiest thing to do, probably want a shop to do the install. Not sure what you mean by "quiet" cams, high lift cams will give you a lopey idle. Cams with a similar lift to stock cams will retain near stock idle. A set of mild hks 264 cams may interest you. Again cams is a whole another topic, search cams. You should really talk to a shop about your goals.

I am serious i allways wondered why does my evo idle at 1200 rpms and around there....? could it maybe have cams on there? tommorow I am replacing the head gasket so i guess i will see if it has it... what is the normal rpm at idle without cams?
Normal Evos idle at 850. Mine idled at 1k because of the tune and cams. Below 1k, it was rough.
And personally, I would definitely talk to a shop about your goals. Right now, as it stands, you sound like a lost puppy. You don't have to get work done by the shop, just talk to them and they will lead you in the right direction. I always send an email to MAPerformance whenever I'm lost and they respond back the next day. Of course, they want to sell some products so it wouldn't hurt to buy parts from the shop you're talking to. When they help you, you should help them back by buying products from them.
