Won't really gain any HP with just an intake. At least nothing noticeable. It'll change the sound of the car though.

Cheapest route is Blower, You can make more on a snail but the more you want the higher the cost. Your engine wasn't built to withstand 400hp like the SS's. You will need to invest into engine components if you want to make some nice numbers. In all honesty I think you would be quite happy with a M62 set up if you want some semi-cheap reliable power. A few people on this forum have boosted their N/A's look through some of the Forced induction forums you can probably find one and send him/her a PM.

Lots of threads on this. People will be willing to help to an extent, but if you are asking questions that have been answered hundreds of times people are not going to be happy

I have an 09 2.2 as well btw

maybe if you didnt have run on sentences that dont have any punctuation that maybe someone might help if you needed for it to be helped cause supercharge is easier than turbo n rods n stuff

You can run on stock internals with the blower, peicing it up urself would be a lot cheaper than buying a kit imo
