It doesn't matter what those Civic and Eclipse guys say. There's no way bold-ons will get you 200 horsepower.
• intake: approx. 5 hp
•*exhaust: approx. 10 hp
• headers: approx. 5 hp
• muffler: approx. 2 hp
• supercharger: approx. 60 hp (expect to break your $1500 budget for a good kit)
• turbocharger: approx. 60 hp (once again, $1500 won't suffice)
• nitrous oxide: depends on kit (more horsepower, more money)

Excuse me? On my GT500 all I had to do was install a CAI, 2.4" metco pully, and download a new tune.. Instant 600hp dyno'd for proof. Actually, thats the most common upgrade used on the GT500's from Evolution performance. No disrespect intended here but... Who in their right mind would spend 5k on Supercharger for a measly 60hp? TVS, Ken Belle, Whipple, all make supercharger for the 5.1 GT500 engine that bolts on 100to 300 hp. I went with the FRPP TVS, and am pushing 800hp with a factory forged lower end that came from the factory able to handle the power.. Thats a lesson GM needs to take note.
Sorry to burst your bubble sir.
