+1 ^ I'm at full bolt ons now. Going up for a re-tune after my header install and I hope to get into the high 270s or low 280s. I was at 266.5 rwhp with stock manifolds and test pipes along with everything else. Now I'm running momentum headers and art pipes. All of that matched with a good cam and I have no doubt I'd be reaaaallllly close to the 300rwhp mark.

In the broad scheme of things, you can hit the number and surpass it easier with just a supercharger bolted on. I just don't want to boost my VQ. Too many horror stories and I'm not looking to have to rebuild mine just yet. I'm sure I'll look into it in the future though.

 

Well if you use a vortech and keep the powahh under 400whp, you will be fine, I havent heard of one vortech charged motor that blew up unless the engine had problems beforehand.

 

It will be hard to get above 300 with bolt-ons.. I have the Motordyne Shockwave TDX2 Exhaust aswell as the ART Pipes from Motordyne, two Nismo Cold-Air Intakes and a cutom UpRev Tune.. This is all dyno'd out at 276.21 RWHP and 244.88 Torque
