Trying to make around 360rwhp Need Help

What all do I need to hit the 360rwhp mark. My budget is around 4k.

Any suggestions.

I only know that I don't want nitrous.

Ok:
1.Year/Make/Model
2.Auto or 6 Speed
3.Why do you only want 360rwhp?
4.Current mods on the car?
5.What exactly do you want to use the car for? Road Race/Drag Race

Agreed with previous posters. We need some info on your car first, and 4K can get you closer to 400 hp without a bottle.

If your car is stock. long tube headers and a small cam w/tune. you would be there easy. spend only 1k at the most or go with heads spend another 2k and have over 400rwhp.

Agreed. A lid, good set of headers, and a z06 cam w/ a tune would put you there. Just in case though, what year is your car and is it an a4 or m6?

On a 6 speed car, a lid, long tube headers, true duals, cats, x pipe, over the axle, mufflers out the back of the car, LS6 intake, ported throttle body netted me 359ft/lb and 349HP with a tune (353ft/lb 344HP on stock 98 tune)

I have the Ls7 clutch/Ls2 flywheel which robs power due to additional weight and no underpulley yet. Also using cats.

Put back in a LS1 type clutch or LS7/LS2 aluminum flywheel, the underpulley or remove the cats and 360HP is pretty much in reach.

Toss in cam and heads and you can find 400hp, but probably over $4k.
