$1500 will buy you an extra used car that will have more than 50hp

I'd buy $1500 worth of percocet, then the car would always feel like it had 100+ hp.

Turbonator and an electric turbocharger. I think the grand total is under $100 and you will gain like 200hp and 70mpg with them.

why do you want 40-50hp specifically, and is that whp or at the crank??? I ask as I look at it from a perspective of what I want my car capable of pulling at the track, aka: whatever it takes to get down to Xtime and/or speed....ect.

If you are are going NA than just get these for starters, may or may not get you what you are looking for, but it will get you something in all departments of sound, looks, and performance:

- Exhaust
- HFC's
- Intake(s)
- Tune

I leave it at that as that is what seems to work for HR's and will be a good start for the DE's.

PS: just got my exhaust put this past weekend on my car.
