My plan with my car is to get 400hp. What i got in mind is a good head and cam package, headers, put a 75 shot (just to say that i have it), porting out my stock TB, and doing all the supporting mods, and at the end get it tuned. well with all that said is that enought to get me to my goal? money is somewhat of an issue and would like to keep a budget but also i want dependability with these mods.

so my question is, can you advice of what kind of mods i should be looking at to get the dependability that i want along with reaching my goal of 400hp but 450hp would be my dream?

please state any questions/concerns about anything.

your help is very much appreciated


I've somewhat made up a list of mods that i may be getting and that other memeber have put on their cars and have received good results.

you dont need afrs to achieve 450hp with 75 hp from the juice. Hell u can do a 228 cam only setup and achieve 450 with the 75 shot.

like everybody else has already said, you can get 400rwhp pretty easy with just bolt ons and a decent size cam. but just my opinion, i would go with full bolt ons, ms4 cam, fast 90/90, and trickflow 215's. i know a guy around here that had the same set up only with a vidicator cam instead and put down 451rwhp through a stalled auto. so w/ an m6 you would be close or around 500hp
