What is the cheapest and most reliable means of accomplishing this with a 300hp late model C4?[/QUOTE]



you guys must have missed this part of his post. Heads , cam, intake, will run you easily $3000 plus, probably more.

-LPE 1 5/8" Longtube Headers
-Custom 3" exhaust / High-Flow Cat to 2 1/2" Targa Mufflers
-Dana44 with 3.45 rear gears.
-Nitto 555R Drag Radials
-2400RPM stall converter and new 'performance' tranny w/cooler
-52mm AS&M ThrottleBody
-Air-Pump eliminator Pulley
-Modified SLP-Ram Air system
-Powercoupler
-Slightly leaky 24lbs injectors (LT1 style MULTEC's)
-Modified AFPR
-A/C bypass belt
-Spark PLug cutback Electrodes

-I burn my own chips and tune the car myself.

Sounds like a lot, but it's all pretty simple stuff. The engine has 117K miles on it, and is running strong as an oxe (with that said prolly will blowup next week now).

Total expenses = Around 3K, and that's including $2400 for the tranny .
(Yes, I am a cheap bastards who waits for good deals
)
How much were the LPE 1-5/8" LT headers and the custom exhaust? Do all your mods after the tranny only total 600 (you said total expenses were 3K including 2400 for the tranny) bucks? If so, I need you to teach me how to shop!
