Default How much power can I get N/A?

How much power do you think you can get to the wheels with about 4-5k without any force induction? I want to go N/A with my car and I was wondering how much power I would be able to get in that price range (without labor) and what is needed to reach that power.

I was planning on working with Andy also. So what would be best for me through Andy's products.

Thanks!

You could do H/C (i think) easily. And you'd be at about 450 HP!!!! I am interested in the responses as well. TTT

Can't tune be adjusted to pass Smog and then returned to performance tune?

I'll eventually go with some heads or cam or both from Andy also

you can get more than 450, got with forged internals and a crazy cam and pick up a set of good heads like AFR . You would be pushing your 5K though. Maybe pick up some used heads. Im not sure about smog though. But all that power need to be backed up in the trans and rear end, and those can get costly

Thanks for the responses you guys! Heads and cams would be the best option and I would be happy with 450 hp also

Thanks again.
