Thanks for the advise guys! A downpipe will definitely be the next thing on my list as well as a good tune. These with a couple fair sized stickers should get me in the 340 range easy I've never really thought about running E before I might look into doing that in the near future as well.

essentially no power advantage. You can argue reliability but meh, people are all too happy to replace a working part IMO. IF by small chance you blow an end tank, then just replace it with aftermarket..

You can hit 320 HP on stock turbo bolt ons easy. 320whp will require things like big turbos.
Gotta build it up before you can max the power.
Clutch Downpipe Tune, then if you aren't happy with 300whp and 350wtrq upgrade zee turbo, and transmission and internals, and and and

Not true stock IC heat soaks badly and IATs soar which robs power. On repeated or longer than 5 second pulls a more efficient IC does provide good sized gains.

exactly what he said^^ i bigger IC will allow for more consistant numbers than the stock one between pulls.

Does anyone have numbers on that? like how much increase in IAT over say a ZZP IC given the same pull(s)? or better yet real world HP/TQ losses because of this?

Ok ya you are correct, although its simply my opinion people 80% of the time people dont really take advantage or benefit, they just see that some huge HP car did it so they do.

I think unless you are doing track driving, you wouldn't get much benefit from an aftermarket IC. Especially given that an aftermarket one weighs significantly more than the stock one. Extra weight, especially over the front axle is never good for the car.
