Default HP question....

I have been searching and searching trying to figure out the best way to gain HP. My only problem is I have never modified a car before so I don't know what is a good thing or a bad thing. Can anyone help me? I have looked at cold air intakes but I don't know which brand or anything like that. Thanks for your help!

Your best bet is to post in the "drivetrain and power" forum.

Quick suggestions...

Fujita F5 Intake
Magnaflow Exhaust
Strup or Monster Motor Works Header

There are cheaper options out there. But if you could afford it, that is what I would go with.

I was going to make a joke about the best way to get more HP would be to buy a different car....

But Rton is correct:
Intake-Header-Exhaust.

Other's suggest a lighter pulley for an increase in wHP

A lighter pulley will not effect horsepower output. It will effect Spin up of the engine and the drag on the system due to the pulley weight. So the horsepower gain is only that from the weight difference that can now get to the rear wheels instead of being used to turn the pulley...a small difference...but the lite pulleys look cool too;)
