I'd love to see some kind of bolt-on mods, could be a combination of mani + TBs and widening the pipe for the intake or whatever, that could net ~20whp/trq or more on top of what I have already. I'd pay 2k for that, maybe a bit more. Oh yeah, it should be throughout the powerband, not just peak also. I know this is probably unrealistic, but this would definitely generate a lot of interest form all the guys looking to max out their NA numbers.

Your dreaming if you think 20 whp on a NA set up. I would love to see that. Às you know the motor is a huge air pump, so forcing more air in and not being able to get the air out as fast as its coming in does you no good. Now what would be a great combo is a nice e,haust cam like the jun 288 with springs paired with the mani, larger tb's and intake piping. Expecting 20whp/tq could be realistic.
Might be out of most people's budget but this isn't a fox body or civic ride. So you either pay, go boost, sick with what you got and be happy.

We have 2 tb's that are already a nice size, talking about bigger ones will yield more power up top maybe but it will kill low end by reducing velocity. Everyone seems to think bigger tb's will make power, the manifold will get put into a cad and check for flow, if they are restrictive then they will be replaced. If they arent then the manifold will maximize air velocoity and make gains. Obviously its only na but 15-20 hp through the power band isnt unrealistic. People are sitting at like 336. 350zs made 312 ish with a manifold of the same design. The vq will benefit from this and I know some of you guys are running a little higher redline so you will see power up top.

I already talked to my shop and all of these gains are with supporting mods, long tube headers being a big factor

What are your thought on the 70mm TB's from eps tuning?
