Few extra horsepower
I would like to get a few extra horsepower out of my car. I have had it for about a year now and love the car. Currently it was a highflow Xpipe, corsas, kooks headers, vararam, mild chip/computer tune and 160. What else can i do to get a few extra ponies out. Im no motorhead so help me out. I am at 375 to the wheels.
These are some of the thing i have seen around the forum that people have been getting nice numbers out of. Im not looking to do any FI. A cam is probly the furthest it would go as internals go. BTW its an 05 MN6 Z51. Any additional options are welcome as are opinions.
Full tune
Ported Intake
Cam
UD pulleys
Electric water pumps
FAST manifold
Flywheels
Rocker arms
how much will each of these run(minus install)? And is the modification needed for the Fast 90 drastic or no? Would this get close to 450 at the wheels or no?
FOrgot to say that this car is not a daily driver and goes out on nice days only. Not sure how aggresive of a cam to get either so im very open minded on this one.

Forget the ported intake, do a FAST if you're going that direction. The cam will probally give you the most for your $$ and you'll gain more with the re-tune. Rocker arms=never heard of much gain from those. With headers, a mild cam , retune and FAST, with what you have, you should be at 430+RWHP, but I understand you don't like the idea of going inside. It may be worth it to do ALL the bolt ons and get a pro tune to get the most out of your set up. The FAST requires the firewall to be cut, there is patch kits or do it yourself w/ fiberglass. Dollar wise, minus install, the cam is the best bang for the buck, then FAST, then waterpump,etc...
