whoops my bad, i was under the impression that k&n was oil-less, ignore what i said about air filters. i admit right now i have a spectre filter but like silverbullit said oiled filters mess up the maf and cause a mis-fire. if you don't know my old man works for an auto parts store so i get a big fat discount and they sell k&n so it sounded like a good idea. AEM is oil-less maybe i'll give it a try

I agree that you should get a dyno tune, but I would go the opposite direction. Intense is much more expensive to go get dyno tuned when compared with ZZP. The most I've ever had to pay for a dyno tune from ZZP was $165. And that's with diagnosing, etc. Intense's dyno tune starts at $300 (and was $400 before). ZZP does an excellent job too with dyno tuning. I'm very happy with what my Monte has made there.

every one says drop pulley size but then people say no because of kr so im confused on wut too do first.
Everything people said above is great, but its not going to get you anywhere close to 300whp.
Also, I think you're honestly going to have to look into either an intercooler or a cam (or switch to a turbo). I just don't see 300 whp being doable without one or the other.
Good luck! I am currently on the mission to get 300Whp out of my N/A Monte.
Dyno Brian know these cars very well, and he tunes for Intense....

Let me revise lol: I will be adding a Gen V to my N/A car along with supporting mods trying to get up to 300whp. Possibly even an intercooler. My point above and I know yours is also that you are not going to get 300Whp without doing some serious power adders.

i'm like 360 right now and i have just about every mods in the car right now. i don't think i can even squeeze out any more HP unless i do a major transformation in my setup which i'm not even thinking about doing that just too much $$$. i did tho accomplish my goals tho, when i started modding i wanted to be in the 300 hp range, 12 second car, all show and go, and run with the big dawg on the street. well my mission is completed and i'm happy for now anyway lol.

Bumpin is also correct about getting a Powertuner, I'm just not confident enough to tune my car myself, and ZZP itself is only an hour away from my parents house so I just swing by after I've done a lot of major work. But yes, a Powertuner is your cheapest way for tuning.
