Looking for 50ish RWHP gain

I'm looking to get about 50 more rwhp and I was wondering what would be best for that whether it be exhaust or CAI or anything in between without spending alot of money. Thanks!

)I would find someone who has 50 horses they would be willing to let you barrow. Tie those horses right up to your car and say "YAW!".

You have a goal of how much you want to spend? If you come up with that there are plenty of people around here that could help you get the most out of your money!

You are assuming this is all Do-it-yourself and have some kind of pipeline distribution on low-cost parts. No way in hell anyone gets the labor and all the parts from a reputable shop on all that for one-grand.

Intake and exhaust would get you on your way to 50rwhp and thats less than 1k. To get you there I would say add headers to the list but I can't tell you how much that would cost. With installation, probably put you at or above 2k.

Isn't the GM performance cam supposed to give a 50 hp gain? Only the price of the cam if he installs.
