And quite heavy too.

If you're at 250 whp, you're not at 320 crank. More like 290-295 crank, considering the ~ 15% loss on the manual.

Did you do a 4" intake yet?

lol anx, I was exaggerating to make my point more clear!

In reality, N/A Power is quite simple. All you have to do is change everything (yes I'm not joking):
- larger intake with less restriction
- larger throttle body
- larger intake manifold
- larger and shorter intake manifold runners
- larger injectors
- tuneable ECU
- intake port work
- higher compression, longer stroke, bigger bore
- bigger cams
- stiffer valve springs
- lighter valve retainers
- exhaust port work
- custom larger header (simple J pipe in this case)
- larger exhaust with less restriction
- lots and lots of tuning

The real trick to actually making power with any NA setup is to alter ALL of the above specifically to work together. This is where you run into problems. You cannot possibly expect any off-the-shelf parts to make this happen. This means all custom parts (crank, rods, pistons, cams, porting, piping, flow testing & tuning). This is where you budget gets blown out of the water.

I believe all that cost about $14k on a 4cyl over 10 years ago. :S
