[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 15867359, member: 21687"] I think if you really want to make more power the money is better spent shooting for the end goal. So if 500hp is only going to last you several months, and you are already trying to budget, then wait and do it right the first time so you don't waste money on stuff you wont need in the end. With that said, it isn't like going to a ported blower is really in the same league as a TVS, whipple, KB. In the end the bigger blower, even if you spend wisely is going to be 5k+. You would need fuel, an MAF, throttlebody, plugs, injectors, tune, clutch, ect... and that is on the cheaper side. If you go return fuel, input shaft, and quality parts you are in over 7.5k... even on used parts. I think it is best to get a realistic idea what you want to spend, and what you want for performance. If you want 500hp, port the blower. Try to pick up one of the POSI units. I'm not giving you pro advice here... just talking costs. Porting the blower for 500hp is going to be way cheaper than a big blower. If you want to buy parts to prepare for the big blower but make power in the meantime... I'm not sure how much a TB/Plenum will do for you really. It isn't like you are asking too much of it already. [/QUOTE]
