Spending money for money's sake does not ensure more performance...

Now; what would really set this "Platform" on fire is a plug-and-play replacement ECU that could be easily tuned to "take full advantage" of all the other high priced "goodies" you speak of...

Until then, looks like 400 RWHP is the ceiling - unless you go big with NOS...
Am I crazy? Why, because our "mods" are limited from what I see. People are taking 280 whp car and boosting them pretty good.

You got intake mods, pulley, tune and you are looking over 350whp easy. Anyone can do that in a weekend.

Whats that leave us? Id rather bolt on a new SC than open up the block and start porting heads or go with $2000+ cams etc.

As you mentioned, your looking at about 400whp limit tweeked and i agree. So Nitrous or bigger SC. A SC would be nice
