MOD order to get to 350 whp

Ok guys. Dunno if this has been done before, but I was wondering what you recommend to get my car to 350whp. It already has HKS intake, and HKS Hi-Power exhaust (Catback). So what should I attempt next? BTW There are also budget constraints too. So I wanna find out what is best with money in mind. Thanks
1. HKS Intake
2. HKS Hi-Power Catback
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

The best way to get a lot of power from simple mods = tuning

question #1: do both 264 and 272 cams make the car idle all retarded?
question #2: does the AMS Hi Flow Cat (or any Hi Flow Cat) work just as good as a cat delete?
question #3: for maximized performance, should all piping (from downpipe to exhaust tip) be the same diameter?

ok.. cam gears do little but the intake does something? I think the intake is the biggest mistake you could make. You are only hurting your performance... How about 02 Hallman boost controller, boost gauge, 02 housing, downpipe, catback, drop in filter, cam gears, port matched TB and a custom tune.. it wouldnt get any better then that for the money

The head studs that are on the car will start to stretch over time with higher boost pressures. This can cause blown heads gaskets etc.

For 115 bucks its a great insurance at a cheap price.

Boost gauge should be your first mod.
