No matter which way you put it, your going to have to break something to push anything more out it.

Whether its the breaking the bank, your engine, or somebody.

Why not do the plenum upgrade (spacer + mrev2), it'll definitely give you more power without busting the bank. Then you can take a look at a custom tune with Osiris. Both of those combined will easily give you a noticeable gain.

oh and have a good intake set up already (custom bumper venting with a k&n drop in filter) should have pretty decent flow and i doubt it would be worth the money to change. Being that i need a new cat back anyways i found an hks hi power along with a cobb accessport im going to try and pick up. from there i would like to check into the plenum spacer a little more. sound alright?

Sounds like you are on the right track. Get dyno numbers before and after installs to check your gains. Post em up when you do.

no amount of bolt ons adds up to any FI kit unless you
1. buy ultra expensive bolt ons and 2. buy a used FI kit

a reflash/tune at this point would not be money well spent IMHO - best off waiting till he has the rest of the exhaust completed and the spacer, otherwise he gets to have it flashed twice

Looked at your car domain and the only bolt on you really have are the nismo exhaust and stillen intake. All your other mods are not engine performance besides the reflash. With the amount you spent on those, you can barely half gimp a used FI setup that is not even complete...

Some people will be satisfied with the gains from simple boltons especially when weighed with the cost involved in a FI setup. It's up to him to make that decision and perhaps he has already done so.
