you wont hit 300 crank N/A, even if you spend a butt load of money into mods.
if you want that kind of power you will need to go forced induction.

intense IS3 heads, and S3 N/A cam and every other bolt on and you might crack 300 CHP.Originally Posted by ctracer
How?
300 CHP is 240 WHP if you accept 20% drivetrain losses.
Read that comment, car was setup incorrectly. Claimed power would be there, but again, 250 WHP for cam and ported heads?
Pretty worthless, especially once you factor in the loss of low end power.
Why would you need a built trans to hold 250 WHP?
Apparently GXPs puke transmissions and stock exhaust. Something to be aware of.

Yes, the 4t80e is known to have issues. Didn't know about the exhaust tho..
Performance nut- Would help to know what your budget is for this. Based on that we can offer suggestions. Is this a DD? Can you afford any downtime?

Yes, it's my DD but I'll rent a car for a bit to get what I want. I'd like to keep it under a few grand (say $3000 and not all at once is preferable). I thought there was an adapter or method of keeping my heads and get a GM blower on it but it turns out that it doesn't look possible. I have zero experience with modifying engines and transmissions but I've done a lot of other mods (suspension, cooling, and some body), so I'm a bit hesitant to get into rockers, cams, and heads. Intakes I think will be within my capability as well as assembling "kits" that don't require messing with the before hand mentioned engine parts.
