I don't think that will be a problem, considering LS3 vette guys can get 500 rwp with just the GMPP hotcam(I think its that cam... might be an aftermarket one though, don't quote me) .

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)
I don't know who you've been talking to, but T/C and S/C add ALOT more than just 60 hp
