Default Header, Intake, Nitrous

Just wondering if you could only buy one performance part wanting the most bang for the buck what direction would you go. I'm not one comfortable spending hundreds of dollars for 8-10hp. I know your feelin me. Thanks Again

I'd go with full catback exhaust or a header and spipe.
But your not even gonna get noticeable power with that, so i'd go with an exhaust. Maybe just an axleback to make it sound better.

This is pretty obvious - you can get a sniper wet nitrous kit for $300-350 and will provide more power increase than i/h/e combined. Jetted with a 50 shot you should be perfectly safe and will see 40-45whp gain. Although the diff is this power youll only see when youre on the bottle and you have to factor in the cost of n02 - vs around a 15-20 whp gain with i/h/e which youll see all the time - and yes ive seen dyno numbers so please stfu about i/h/e only giving a 0-5whp gain. Just fyi the car in reference was an auto that started out with a stock dyno and made 136whp. After a custom exhaust, header, and sri it made 152whp. Than the same individual ran a 75 shot and dynod at 214whp on the shot.

Nothing will make a significant difference unless your boostin. I would just spend that money on aesthetics.

Agreed.......the only reason to IHPE the tC is to have a better looking drive trane,the increase in power is barely enough to feel.Car is only gonna be a few 1/10ths faster in the 1/4mile and cost to get those few 1/10ths is expensive,fr a littel more than I have spent now I could of built the motor internals and gone boost and scream pretty fast,but I wanted a showey car and not a fast car.
