get the new spoon cams and you can be the first person to buy them and dyno them to let us know if they are worth the 1200

5 grand will do it! U should search because people on here are just gonna throw random parts. IMO its not worth the money to stay all/motor. I would spend the money on suspension and wheels.

A nice turbo setup, not too much boost, that's what I would do!

The first step here is establishing your budget for the setup, then your goals/ use for the car. Once we have that, you can give us the limiting factors like "no turbo setup." Having some kind of guidelines will make this less of a crap shoot when people toss out ideas. And to add my advice to this, i would go no other route than a turbo setup, provided your budget allows. In order to go NA, you have to spend so much money to gain so little. A larger (relative to the start up cost for NA), up-front investment into a turbo setup will have you sitting around 400-450whp safely on the stock block with pump gas

a lot of fun spending 3000 on ITBs and then 1200 on stand alone and then money on a tune and gaining 15 horse? Sounds like fun I spent 1000 more then that and made 130 over stock.

Which is why i would never consider an NA build on either a K or F series engine. The standalone (K-Pro or AEM) plus tuning is too expensive to be used on some meager +10whp bolt-ons. Plus, its a proven fact that S's LOVE boost

Yup if I spend that much to gain real power I'd go forced induction (s/c for me) but to get to the OP's topic....If I wanted to stay NA I'd look into J's products. Intake header exhaust etc etc. And spend the money to get a good tune afterwards. I don't know enough about ITB's to give an opinion on them so, Anyway people always seem to swear by the J's prducts as far as performance goes plus a little baller status under the hood won't hurt the eye either. Look into it but everyone seems to love J's once they decide to drop the cash on them.

exactly, spend the money and go boost or save your money and don't bother. aside from maybe just a cold air intake I wouldn't spend any money on all-motor mods.

if there was room in the S for more all-motor power it would be different. if headers added 15 whp, exhuast another 15whp, and intake added 20whp, then yeah send the couple grand and do it. but when I/H/E and standalone only nets you about 15whp total and you've spent $3,000 for parts and tuning it's stupid. another couple grand and you have real power gains and tuned correctly you'll be just as safe as stock.

learn from everyone else mistakes/money spent, keep it stock or go boost.

only part of that I disagree with is with the K series, you can get 250whp pretty easily. it still costs a decent amount of cash though but at least there's decent gains to be made unlike the F series.
