why wouldn't you go fi? you could get there with relatively low boost... reliability? why not swap in a s5x if you want reliable na power?

Nando, what would be your setup with 4k? That was the reason I asked.. I would want something that fits well together, a more complete package. That's why I'm asking you guys cause y'all have experience

[nando]

unfortunately, it turns out that dbilas is overpriced junk. too big, poor geometry, crummy airbox.

[flyboyx]

dbilas itb setup would be nice. but won't fit into a 4k budget.

[nando]

$4k is a healthy budget, but you can't just slap parts together and expect performance.

for 4k and doing all the work yourself, 173dme, 284 cam, ebay headers, 11:1 CR pistons, 885 head. s50 injectors. markd/ssquid chip. you will bet to about 195-200whp.

no you need stand alone management forget motronic

Can't believe people still think you can't get real power out of an M20. TK has more than busted that myth with Rob's 2.8 build.
