I'm pretty sure I'm staying N/A...if not then I'm not going down this path.
Also, be conserned with torque as much as you are hp.
A high HP car w/ low torque ain't all that great.
I want a car that's going to snap my head off from throwing me back in my seat.
Here's what I would do to get some nice gains:
Mods:
Borla Exhaust (10-15whp)
Borla Headers(I hear good for torque!)
Crawford Plenum(9 whp - 19whp between 6200-6600rpm and such?)
CAI (5-6 whp)
Camshafts
ECU (7-10 hp, plus doesn't negate any mods)
Flywheel
That should give you a nice feel.

Supercharger, simple enough. 60 reliable whp every day. That's the only mod you need, nothing else.

I'm trying to get 300 rwhp out of the VQ N/A, wish me luck!
Next mod is cams....
Althought I'm at a hard decision of to go with aggressive or radical cams from JUN. hmmmmm.... I dont really wanna sacrifice torque for 30 hp up top with the 268 intake & exhaust dur cams(radical). Wonder if i go with 268 intake and 270/272 exhaust, maybe that will preserve the tq power band down low?
Might just go with 20rwhp w/ the aggressive 264's. Whomever started the post, if you just want 300hp at the crank, then just put on a good high flow exhaust, and the crawford plenum. That should kik you above 300. But rwhp is another story

Assuming you're talking about hp at the wheels (b/c measuring hp at the crank is all speculation, unless you wanna pull the engine, so crank hp (to me) = stupid), the only 'inexpensive' way to gain 60 hp is going to have to include n2o. i can't think of any other way to get there that's 'inexpensive'. You won't get close with just cai and pullies.

I was talking crank, and i know it sux but, the average jo has no idea and that is who i mainly hang with. I think i am going with pullies and Injen CAI and maybe the Exhuast. In a couple of years i may just go with FI. but i got to get a raise first

300 at the crank is possible... expect to spend some ching. I'm already at 10k+ and still not close
What are your 10k+ of mods that didn't give you 13 measly crank HP?
Simple CAI and Exhaust should ad 13 HP... 287 stock + 13 = 300.
CAI + Exhaust = Less than $1000... Where did the other 9K go that didn't add a single HP?
I think people are confusing "crank" (i.e. Brake Horsepower-BHP) with Rear Wheel Horsepower (RWHP). You may have to spend some cash to get to 300 RWHP but CERTAINLY not much to get to 300 Crank HP. (BHP)
I spent roughly $800 on the Borla Dual exhaust and the AEM intake and I probably got 300 BHP just from that.
With the Procharger (roughly $5400 installed) I'll get WELL over 300 RWHP.
