I've been reading the threads and trying to get a realistic idea of what to expect for HP gains out of these cars. I see a great number of products out there and I guess my question is what products really produce the most HP/bang for the buck. I'm thinking I'd like to hit 350 RWHP but i don't want to break the bank and I want a rock solid dependable car as this is my daily driver. So access port, tune, pill?, exhaust?, cold air intake? what should I be looking at?

Hope you mean 350AWHP ;p

AP + pill (or MBC) + drop in filter + exhaust + down pipe + tune will get you very close is my guess... worst case add on a FMIC and IC pipes and should put you north of 350 for sure ... but then again depends on the tuner

hmmm how much will all this end up costing?

Best bang for the buck is a tune without a doubt. You should see 50 - 60 whp gain from custom tuning alone with no after market parts.

3" turbo back will run in the 1,000 to 1,500 and is good for another 10-20 whp peak but lots of area under the curve

Upper IC pipe figure 150 - 350 depending on brand and may bee good for up to 10whp

Drop in filter will run 50 - 100 and depending on brand could net 0 - 10 whp

With all of the above you would be in the 295 - 310 whp range on an uncorrected dynodynamics. Or 343 - 360 whp on a typical dynojet.

At this point you will be out of injector and need to start looking for fuel system upgrades.

Save yourself a little money and get all the hard parts purchased and installed before your tune.

I have just about all the bolt-ons now minus a intake (I do have HKS dropin). My car made 341whp on a mustang dyno with a custom tune with the AP at Cobb Tuning in Plano, Tx. I do have a Pill and my boost peaks at 27 and tapers to 21-22.

Really? I've noticed smoother power while untuned; my butt dyno says 2.33333 WHP

I wonder if this part on a tuned car would actually make a noticable difference.... ?

True, I said up too 10whp so it could be as low as 0 and as high as 10 whp I picked up about 10whp between the filter and the hot side Intercooler Pipe.

There's a thread on these forums called something like modding your evo $100 at a time or something like that - very good thread if you're on a budget.
