np, you just click "link to it" on the right of the page, then click "600" and copy the "direct link to image"

After that you paste that here surrounded by bbcode img tages ([ img][ /img], without the spaces)

yeah I knew the IMG tags and what not, but didn't know how to get the URl from webshots. Thanks for the info.

Photobucket is so much easier because I can just right click on the image, go to properties, and copy the direct JPG URL.

The CAI probably 10, the cam looks ok, the x-pipe 0, and the header 25. Supercharger 40% gain and the turbo's I don't know. The cam only with the procharger, 230-250 should be close.

To answer your title question, I think you are a little ambious in your
table. Horsepower is not stackable in other words the higher you go
the harder it is to make. I would think this combo would be more in
the 180-200 range.

Thanks shedding some light about that HP fact.
But if all of that is only good to 180-200, some of it isn't even worth getting.

Not sure what you mean by ambious
EDIT: nevermind, ambiguous....

A supercharger kit will come with the air cleaner assembly.

You will need a supercharger kit with headers.

You didnt add a tune [500-800] and a set of tires for traction.

If you cam it and want north of 600rwhp add in a meth kit and somewhere in the mix a real fuel system will be in order. You will also need a clutch to hold that type of power.

I would do the headers and a supercharger kit and stop until you decide how far you want to go.

What he said........

I have already done the following mods:

Callaway CAI, Headers, Mid Pipe with hi flo cats, lo thermostat, 4.10s and a tune. For all that, I could have purchased a base supercharger kit and been much faster than I am right now.

But, instead, I am going to do the SC with meth, a new clutch and rear tires and end up being very fast.

To do it all over again, I would go with headers and a SC and call it quits.
