1. DeMan 4.5L, $29k installed, 500whp on pump gas

Best option IMO
If my car was a manual, all day and twice on Sunday. My fear is I would still be bored on the street.

2. RR Supercharger, $13k?, 450whp on pump
3. Dundon intake runners, $3800, supposedly good for another 25-30whp, let’s say 400whp
4. Sell car for Carrera T, $30k
Sell your car and sell me your headers....I'll prob take your intake too. K THX BAI

I did the X-51 Power Kit in Dec 2016. I bought the kit from Suncoast (on sale for $8500), had it shipped to my local dealer, and paid about $4500 to have it installed. It was not an option until 2014. It is a full pallet of upgrade parts including heads and cams. The intake system is a large part of the X-51 too. I know that the engine has to be below 25k miles or the connecting rod pins have to be replaced too. I never regretted it. It’s the best that the factory offered. The option when ordered in 2014 was over $16k so I saved money.
