get 1000cc injectors and get E-85 tune and you'll overshoot your 350 easy.

thats probably your cheapest option right now

unless you want to just get retuned really agressively...which is easier than going the E-85 path. lol.

If you have easy access to E85, its by far the best solution. E85 is great stuff because it is so damn knock resistant. The only additional mods needed over what you already have are 1000 cc/min injectors, a Walbro fuel pump, and perhaps a better DV. Don't need anything else to easily make 350 whp.

got my buschur deluxe core for $200 used it had a tiny dent and needed to be cleaned up a bit but was a good deal

But I don't have much to spend on the car this year because I wanna keep a few grand in the bank in case something breaks and I won't have to stress over it. So I was wondering what the best way to reach my goal(or just come close) would be. Looking to spend around a grand including tuning at Buschur.

Any opinions would be appreciated, just not negative rants please. thanks!

nice. I had a MkV before the evo. Making 353whp now and never looked back after making the switch!

I made 355whp on a dynojet with those mods on my IX. About $1400 including the tune. You can do a mail-in flash, but you'll maximize your HP with a custom tune.

Dynojets also read really high! Gets some cams if you don't have, O2 dump would help as well... With those mods and a tune from Ivey u should be good.
