You may want to check these thread out first before deciding the direction you want to go.

btw, ur best chance of beating FI is changing ur final drive.
Thanks, changing the final drive isn't a bad idea. I may end up doing that later down the road. I think the first thing i'm doing after the mods i've previously stated, is reinforcing the rear end if i can, and getting a better clutch. I really don't want to worry about blowing the differential.

Bottles are for babies (kidding) and it sucks to have an empty bottle when you need it. Plus no fun in the twistys!

The greddy is nice all around kit for the street and makes power almost instantly. Plus for the price its a much better setup than what you have listed with less work and more fun and yes, "cheaper" than 5k

Psh, yeah but in order to get the most out of the Kit, you'd want a 70mm exhaust anyway, and probably a test pipe, as well as a tune, and an AEM EMS.

That's half the cost of what i'm doing anyway haha.

You never said though, why are you parting ways with it?

bolt-on with oem cat and exhaust and the included emanage ultimate got me 302 on a dynojet. still cheaper...

since you like equations:

$3600 turbo kit
+
ill give $300 dollars an hour to tune... most shops charge round $150 an hour. it will/should take less than 1 hour to tune off the basemap.
+
greddy 70mm exhaust $600
+
$100 TP

=$4600 for REAL PROVEN 300WHP++ all day and night!

lets be honest here... TP/I/H/E wont make more than 40whp on any dyno from stock. maybe 15-20whp max even with a tune.

Plus no need to fill the bottle everytime you want some action not to mention the cost/time/gas it takes to get there... it all adds up. You can detail your car with the wasted time

forgot to mention that all of this is also C.A.R.B 50 state Legal for smog in alot of states with emissions. You cant say the same for the people running a race header in some states.

We all know that nothing goes according to plan, and half the gains you think you'll get you often don't. But i think there is water to this theory. And i hope everyone bears in mind, that i'm really only theorizing about 40-60 horsepower from all my mods, and that 50 straight horsepower will be coming from nitrous.

Here's a dyno of a hytech header fyi. 15-17 hp isn't outrageous.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=760745
You realize, that the Hytech dyno you posted has an intake testpipe, AEM, along with the header right?

Hytech 3 step header
Hytech Test pipe
AEM V2 intake
AEM 1052u (Tuned by Mase 1-23-10)
It isn't just a header. He gained that 20hp with all those mods. Your exhaust is not going to net you the remaining 80 horsepower to get to 300whp.


And personally I've never considered nitrous as wheel horse power because it is not permanent. You run out of it. A supercharger doesn't suddenly run out and become worthless weight.

Ricer math ftmfw!
An intake that "makes" (use the that term VERY loosly) 5 hp + a header that "makes" 5 hp does not mean your going to have 10hp... with all those bolt ons you have there you MIGHT be at 220-225 to the wheels. If you add a 50 shot to that your still not at 300.

The fact of the matter is, i DO think it will work. I could be completely wrong, but even if i am, and i fall short. I'd still love the car, and all those parts wouldn't be for naught. In fact it'd just be pre-staging for an ITB set up. So i'm still going through with it.
Yes you are completly wrong.

Then by the time your finished with this add another $3k-$5k to your little plan, because of your ITB set up and you still wont have 300whp and a boosted car is still gonna spank you.

Edit: You might want to rewatch F&F I think you missed a couple scenes

Estimated total WHP gain – at least 30 whp maybe 40. Before you go all “No way! “ on me. While none of these mods alone might give you those kind of numbers, In conjunction with each other? They each add a little horsepower to one another and that can really add up. At least that's what i'm banking on
Its more like what you are smoking on . . . . 5+5=12
