Remove your spark plug wires from cylinders 2 and 4. It's free and you won't make anymore than 50hp, gauranteed.

I have the Bosal 4-2-1 headers on my P5. They are made for the 4cyl Probe/Mx-6, but with a little modification we made them work.

www.spool-turbo.com their stage one kit is like 2600 or somethin like that. its pretty cheap and it looks like a sick setup. the intercooler is an add on and its only like anotehr 900 for the intercooleer and all the piping and such. check it out. or you can go with the begi/fm kit for like 3600. either way, i would suggest turbo over N2O. nos is ok, but you can only use it limited times and you ahve to worry about gettin it filled and ****. just go for the boost, its the only way to really get that kind of power thats readily available all of the time on your car.

Right now 2600 isn't really cheap for me, I just bought a 21K car!
(CAD) I'm thinkin about this:

cams + port/polish + 50 shot nitrous
should run me about $1600 CAD

any ideas on whp gains?

my guess would be about 20-25 hp from port/polish and cams. the cams are advertised to give like 10 to 12 hp each, and that number is way overstated. maybe 10 from both, but thats about it. so its your money, 1600 for the parts you listed is over half way to the turbo. if it were my money and my car id just wait a little and go for the big gains.
