Beating a dead horse...the NA Journey
Well guys...I have not posted here in a while...but I thought I could share with you all how my NA set up is going so far.
As of now I am done with the body work. The lip kit+wing from viniati is mounted and painted beautifully by Orange County Body Works and I got my ebay shark fins on it too ^^
Now I am concerning myself with the engine work. In my club here in Socal most of the guys and gals run F/I for power be it S/C or Turbo. Highest we have is 285 with the turbonetics and lowest we have is 235 from the S/C...
They tell me you can't produce more than 200 (maybe not even that) with an N/A tC...I kinda want to prove them wrong as to slap them all across the face and say I told you so >D...just something I want to do now haha...
As of now:
AW Header
Invidia Down Pipe
Custom Mid 30" Resonator
TRD Axle Back
Injen CAI
In the mail:
Greddy Emanage+Dezod plug and play harness (going to tune at Church's Orange County)
Called up Crower in San Diego to get new cams ground out to my specs
Full Pully set from NST coming shortly as well...
Are there any another improvments I can make for the time being WITHOUT replacing my existing? I know the Axle back is not the best but I like its sound and how quiet it is...
I want to break 200 no problem...With these mods I think I can.
I will be looking into Port and Polish soon as well...
What do you all think? Hopefully I can get a dyno chart this weekend if the emanage arrives on time...

You might need this:
Best of luck though for sure. And obviously let us know where you end up.
Have you done any sort of baseline dyno yet? Or before you added what you already have? Or are you just interested in the end results?

lol ^^
Those are mostly shots of body. I don't have any interior work done really. I am not too big on that stuff...
I have not done any dyno testing as of yet because I wanted to spend the cash on more modding before I would test. I figured I would get an idea once I get the emanage...

yeah, they are right, it is hard to get more than 200 whp out of a n/a tc.
maybe if you could do some old fashion displacement up, bore and stroke, and put in some high compression pistons and run it on 93 octane, you might break the 200 whp ceiling. but it is hard and expensive for such little pay off.
