Are we talking crank or RWHP?
Different air intake - fab' your own.TVT/Needswings.
Cams.
Pulleys.
Nitrous.

250bhp to the wheels is the plan..... Intake should be done by next week!

Want to keep it naturally asperated. So no: Nos/turbo/supercharger.

Would you say a single CAI would be better than two?

Hello,

This is the plan of action you need to take for 250 CRANK HP.

1. Single Intake
2. Fuel Injectors
3. ECU Remap
4. Higher Flow Exhaust (Dual)

That should get you to 250 crank very easily.

250 RWHP is about 300 CRANK HP.

You will need a different intake manifold, cams, and headers to even think about those numbers with stock displacement.

Good Luck!

Inmotion Tune would help you get there with CAI.

Easiest way to get 250+rwhp is to just buy an SRT-6.

Easiest way to raise N/A HP is to raise the rev limiter or install a stroker kit. Neither way is the cheapest, however.

Be very careful with ECU tuning and an Intake if you have stock injectors. You have a 99% chance of leaning them out too much.

We've gotten our car to over 250 CRANK HP. If you would like, PM us and I'd be happy to talk to you.

sounds cool in regards to the remap i am thinking of buying a byteshooter or optican remapping tool and will be offering it to the uk crossfire community. i'll tell you more when i see you but just to let you know this will be a proffesional tool not an ebay piece of s$%t.

why not purchase the SplitSecond ecu? it's proven on motronic 2.8 ecu's, and you can pull timing and advance the timing, add fuel with 3D mapping.

Dual intake causes too much turbulence before the MAF. Any intake you create needs to have the filter outside the engine compartment or it is useless.

Please elaborate on this. There's a lot of folks that have done this combo mod, myself included. Do I need different injectors now?
