Re: How much power can I make while staying N/A?
Don't waste the money staying N/A. My car N/A went 14.9 @93 with every bolt on. You live in canada take a ride to cartuning and get a turbo kit and a tune.

I wonder what a stock car woulda made on that dyno. It's so tough throwing WHP figures around when people go to these feel good dyno shops lol
Re: How much power can I make while staying N/A?

Re: How much power can I make while staying N/A?
Always nice to have another car you can drive in case you break something.
Re: How much power can I make while staying N/A?
N/A forever !!!!! I would have bought the s/c version of my car in a heartbeat if it was available but sadly GM discontinued them by the time I was in the market for a new car.
Re: How much power can I make while staying N/A?
Re: How much power can I make while staying N/A?
Bought mine January 08, s/c version was sold out by then

Selling your car isn't a good idea if you've already put money into replacing other components.
You might have to do that with the new car as well
Havnt put a dime into her yet. Also considering buying a 98-99 because insurance is cheaper.

You can stay NA and get ZZP's GT cam ($325 + ~$100 for gaskets), Headers (~$250-???? depending on what you get), HV3 ($200), intake (~$50) and a custom tune ($???) and right there you are looking at a minimum of ~$1000 without making much power.
OR you could piece together a top swap, get the heads rebuilt, get the SC rebuilt (if it needs it), get headers and a custom tune for about the same price. My top swap will be about $1200, and that's spending $275 on getting the heads rebuilt and getting nice headers (Ceramic coated TOGs). You'll make way more than your N/A car going that route, and you will have your options open to continue modding as well.

Why?
Some guy threw IS3 heads and an S3 N/A cam into his engine and spun it to 7000 RPM.
Made 24x WHP.
