20 hp, an easy upgrade?
#20
Depends on your budget. If you want to gain 20+hp on NA motor, then I suggest getting a spacer, CAI, exhaust, and mabye HFC's. After doing all those bolt on mods, I strongly recommend you get your ECU flashed and tuned. Without tunning your car, your ecu thinks it is stock and you may end up losing hp! In my opinion, going FI saves money and the hassel doing bolt on mods. S/C is cheaper and more reliable then turbos, and unlike boltons, you can feel a big power increase. You can easily spend 4-5K+ on bolt on mods just to gain a few ponies. Going FI will cost 3-4k for the supercharger and 4-5k for the turbo. You can even DIY to install the s/c if you have a bit of auto mechanical knowledge.

I did not think it was useable power to have that manifold on non-rev
BTW, I have 1/2" spacer and a modified lower collector, a little more machining than then MREV2 version...
