20 - 40 more horses
i really don't want to by a SC or turbo for 3+ grand right now. i feel the 160hp on this car is fine and feels faster than the 200hp in my old camaro. i wouldn't mind another 20 horses though. any thoughts on how to get this without spending 3+grand?
CAI
exhaust
plugs/wires
would this give me 20 horses? ideas???

there was some page (can't remember which, and can't find it on google) where they dyno'd different parts and showed how you could get 23 whp from intake, headers and full exhaust. Showed dyno specs for each mod, and was pretty interesting. No clue where it is... anybody help? Was an online sales place, just can't remember which one.

I would think an upgraded ECU would do the trick, assuming bottlenecks like proper amount of air from a CAI and the exhaust gases can be expelled through a proper headers/downpipe and muffler combo. Those things in themselves would yield wicked gains, methinks...

wouldn't an ECU upgrade easily void the warranty on the engine? you're talking about the computer chip there... I can see changing the header, intake, exhaust and dropping in the TRD supercharger, but what about when you walk into a dealer and say your engine's pre-igniting even when you run 93 octane and they plug a few wires into your car and tell you you voided your entire powertrain warranty by installing an aftermarket part and not set the cam timings properly?
I could see that happening...
I'm going with a new header, full cat-back exhaust, plugs and wires, intercooler and supercharger, and I'll be happy with my 250 horses under full warranty, thank'ya
