No offense, but you (BeeAyche) don't seem to have done any sort of research on the matter. That means you're not really serious and you're only doing injustice to yourself. I suggest you dig very deep into this and get as much information as possible by reading on the forums.
It's extremely easy to get caught up with the forums and its "standard" of modding. There will always be people who throw money at their car simply because they can/want even though they don't need such lavish modifications. Seeing and envying these people will make you want a piece of the action, but this is a serious commitment that requires a LOT of research, thought, and money on your part.
BTW, is this going in your Nismo or your Base?
Here are some basic things you should ask yourself:
-Can I afford it and still have enough money for unforeseen circumstances?
-Why do I need 450whp - is it wishful thinking/desire or a necessity for the track? If the latter, I suggest you accrue more seat time first before upping the power. If former, I hope you're ballin'!
-What kind of forced induction do I want to meet my power goal? Let's see.... turbocharge, supercharge, nitrous oxide, twin turbo, twin charge, sequential, compound, meth, e85, combination, etc.
-Which kit, which shop/tuner/installer, which EMS, which supporting mods, etc?
-Can I cope with the downtime or have a DD ready?
-Can I handle twice the power output? Many have proven otherwise at one point or another. Hell, people crash with stock output.
There are many more questions you must ask yourself and every single question branches off into 10 new questions that must be answered.
Sorry if I sound like a party pooper, but I don't want anybody to dive into FI thinking it's all fun and games when it's the mostly the opposite (unless your toilet paper is diamond encrusted).
WHO WANTS TO GO TO THE DRAG STRIP WITH ME THIS FRIDAY OR NEXT FRIDAY?!!?!??!!?
