pfft my KA made 132whp with intake, exhaust, lightweight flywheel, electric fans lol

 

Further proving my point . . .

 

that's debatable.

again my question for the ts is, what is cheap? i've spent about $1k in bolts ons and the gains are very noticeable but i doubt it's 200hp like you're looking for.

 

I suppose the next question would have to be, what's your idea of a gain? If you're speaking of any and all hp/torque increases, then yeah, I will retract my last statement.

If you're gonna sit there and tell me that your mind was blown when you got your dyno numbers after your exhaust and intake went on, then I'm gonna have to call that one, LOL!

 

i'm too cheap to cough up the cash to get my car dyno so no, i can't say my mind was blown away. the intake and exhaust gains were marginal though, it wasn't until the the header, cam, aluminum flywheel, and 1pc ds were installed that gains were truly noticeable.

 

I imagine this all to be very true, but we're not exactly talking chump change here either, even in the "grand scheme" of things.

lets just say affordable being 1k...under 2k... i noe turbo will give me big bang for bucks, but i like NA... plus wut do i want, well i'm not sure what i want that is why i am asking questions... mainly i'd like to be more educated in this stuff so i dont spend more in trial error process... i'm not that great in my money bank either... this has also gotten me to reconsider into KA-T, though if understand pros n cons more it will help me...
