SuperWhite, perhaps the I/H/E would only add less than 30hp but the price for those that you listed is way too much?? Am I the only one that is paying less for my mods? I do have buddies here that owns and operate a "Pimp My Ride" kind of store. I can get those parts about $600 and I'll install them myself. The paint job that I have on my car would run about $5,000 to $7,000 but I merely paid 10% of it.

Supercharger sounds nice but the dealer here charges $4,000 for it. Although with the I/H/E it might not be half the horsepower you get with the supercharger but sure beats the price! The price I can get the I/H/E from my buddies is about 15% of the supercharge's cost.

What other mods do you guys know of to add hp without reprogramming the ECU?
Unless you are getting a custom exhaust made by a muffler shop, thats the price those product cost. note: the prices I listed are for brand new parts. Of course you can get them used for much cheaper. I am just trying to compare apples to apples here.
