I don't know why people are so obsessed with having the highest horsepower numbers, the shape of the curve is far more important.
Sounds about right. I have 116 whp with an Intake, Catback, and Piggyback. The rest doesnt add much. Just rounds out the curve. And a nice round curve is great for around town, AutoX and road courses. Not so much for the strip.

look at my ride in the registry. only thing i'm missing off that list is the TB....unfortunatly i had 2 horrible leaks at the time of the dyno....realisticly, with corrected numbers-->i'd hope to see the car hit 130whp.

EDIT: i do have a few other mods on the list like Clutchmasters Flywheel, ACT clutch, Kaaz LSD....but we all know those aren't mods to make high #'s...only to support them.

And make them more useful. No point in making #'s if you cant use them.

Once I get a dyno I'll post up the numbers, should give a decent idea of what you'd be looking at. Hopefully I'll get a dyno relatively soon, assuming I have time of course.

if you are really looking for some serious power... then go with a turbo... even tho you already ruled it out.

but with all those mods, your looking at 30ish whp gain to be realistic.

lol, i know how you feel.

when it comes to anyting car-related, to each their own. a person can easily drop 2000 into making a car look nice, but still slow. a person can also drop that 2000 into NA mods, and still have, what many consider to be, a relatively "slow" car in comparision to what is considered fast today. especially for me, since i have an auto, in the end, going NA will not be worth it...neither do i think turbo will be worth it as well in the end...

as a previous poster said, maybe it's better to drop the 2000 as a down payment on a car already fast. anyways, in the end to each their own, but for me, bah, why i should i spend 2000 to shave a second and a half, maybe two in NA mods.

you can turbo your car for 2 grand, not buy half a turbo kit, but completely turbo your car.
