Best way to boost HP
 

I'm wantin to beef the MC up a little bit. Got the 03 SS and am I thinking about a cold air intake among other things.

What's the best cold air intake to get? ANd what else could I consider to get more HP.

Cheap, Fast, Reliable.

Pick two of the above.... you can't have all three. :-)

What's your budget, and what are you performance goals? Without knowing, it's a guessing game as to what I would recommend. If you have no answer to the question, I will say L67 swap to get the best bang for the buck. If you were to spend $2000 on your non-supercharged setup, you would still be slower than a 3800 SC setup with minimal mods.

Why not spend the $1000-$1500 on a low mileage L67, and swap away! www.motorswap.org has all the info you need to make it happen.

The other option is to buy the Cartuning Turbo kit, which will turn your L36 motor into a corvette munching monster... with the AIA IC, and alky injection setup with the turbo, you're running up to $4000+, but it's worth every penny for the smile on your face. :)

Best way? Put in a turbo kit and make some REAL horsepower! The cars making serious hp are running twin turbos.

Watch out for Cartuning though... Kevin is **** to deal with once you get your stuff.... if you get it. I've heard too many bad stories about him.

Your best bet is turbo from ZZP.

I agree, I like dealing with ZZP. Tim is good to work with, and Zoomer is THE man when it comes to 3800 HP gains. He goes FAST, like 9.01 in the 1/4
