Serious hp gains will require F/I
Small gains - full exhaust H/DP/CB

Meth injection is better utilized with F/I setups..

It essentially lowers your Intake air temps so you get more power out of your setup

colder air = more power

lol its kool bro. Boosted meaning supercharged or turbocharged...i seems like alot of money at first but in the long runs its just alil more and u get WAY higher gains.
think about it....
CIA around 200
good Catback 600-700
headers 200-300 (im guessing)

so around 1k u get that and like no power but for 1500 you can be turbo (not including tune) or go SC and get a kit from a cobalt doin a swap for maybe cheaper

havent heard of people having any motor issues. Just depends on how far you push them. The motors can handle 400hp. Transmission may not handle that much.
