Extremely Modest Power Bump
What is the best, most simple, stock appearing way to get a slight, but noticeable bump in power? I saw a video CSP did where they ported the blower and added a tune, car made some nice gains. Is that the norm? How many mph do you think 50 extra rwhp is good for in the 1/4? Goal is to trap upper 120s, maybe hit 130 in good conditions, but I’d like to stay as close to stock in appearance as possible. Would porting and tune be enough?

Any pump gas options? I don’t know of any flex fuel stations near me. Otherwise I’d be on board. Would that require fuel system upgrades?

I did Kong X port, 103TB (from ported OEM) and Big Gulp (from regular Rotofab) and fueling upgrades. Stayed with stock pulleys and picked up 64whp SAE.
