Programmer with custom tunes, KAI, exhaust, long tube headers, e-fan, UD pulleys (may need to upgrade alternator)

Should see a good gain of about 40-50hp to the wheels with that setup... will cost close to $2000 getting namebrands

$500 more and you can have 335rwhp out of a Roush non-intercooled Supercharger. That's a lot more than 270rwhp for $2000. Just a thought.

Might as well buy the intercooled version if you plan on going that route.
