+70HP @ $10,000 and hitting a ceiling on modding
or
+140HP @ $10,000 and have practically unlimited expanding
or if money isn't an issue
+400HP @ $15,000-20,000.

There is a small group of guys who have been trying to achieve this goal for years. Very very few have (and I mean counting on 1 hand). EVEN WITH cams some are still only hitting a high 280whp.
So it's going to cost you even more than that... while the cams getting installed... I'm telling you, you might as well get some pistons (most common are 11.0:1 and 11.5:1 [stock is 10.5:1]).
Actually now that I mention that... it may be just as worthwild to get the GTM stroker kit and stay NA.

The only part you won't be able to use is the intake. Vortech makes a good choice when you've already gone the NA Bolt On Route. Everything still works when you slap the Vortech on.GL

hey, gonna post a more detailed up date when i get a chance but the reflash at Technosquare went well. i pulled 246.5whp & 239.5wtq, doesn't sound that great, right? but it's actually really impressive considering i have an '03 5AT sedan, the earlier 6MT sedans only pulled 210whp/wtq stock. he said i would have gotten much better readings w/a manual or '04+up auto. the reflash gave me +18 peak hp and a much smoother/broader tq band. now it revs to 7k as apposed to the 6.5k red-line, big difference in manual mode. driving impressions on the way home where, it feels much closer to the '07+ sedans. maybe a little bit more agressive in the power delivery. i was hopeing to get around 250whp/wtq(around 300+ to the crank), but i'm pretty happy w/the results. esspessially after lookin' up some other people's bolt ons+reflash results. i would recommend it to anyone finished w/their engine mods. oh, yeah... they also reccomended i go w/one step colder plugs for the heat that goes w/the new power. thanks, Technosquare

This is me after spending like 3k in parts for my engine alone.. add 1-2k for installations.
i'd say screw NA, go FI!
the next step for me is either cams or stroker kit. I plan on staying NA. But its really costing me. ALL this just to prevent my engine from blowing up on me. However ive talked to many differen turbo/supercharger owners going 30-40k miles on their engine with FI. So it IS do-able if done right! TUNED correctly!
For 300hp NA. good luck!.. its not easy, or cheap. With the same money ur going to spend u can get closer to 400 easy going FI.
ITs up to u!

unless u go stroker ur not gonna hang with a 335. stroker kits cost more than FI, normally.
even with a stroker kit.. when the 335 chips with vishnu and adds an exhaust their at 420hp.. and ur once again toast!..
FI ftw!
