What can I expect?

What is the max amount of hp gain I might expect without forced induction or No2 using only things like cams, exhaust injectors remapping etc.?

I've seen the threads with turbos and superchargers. I'd reather invest in a Mitus 3000 Gtvr4 than attempt that

Well you're going to first want to install the Stage 2 chip from ECUTune. This bypasses the relatively low maximum value of the stock MAF (about 250hp).

Make your car breathe better. Invest in a free-flow intake and exhaust system, and use a high-flow air cleaner. I believe the cheapest hp gains come through simply increasing the efficiency of the intake, combusion and exhaust processes without force feeding the engine. With the right combination of free-flow components I think a 20-30 hp gain is a real possibility. No, that won't blow the doors off the competition but it is real power that you can use and enjoy every day.

Cams are only good for a car that is supporting them. A free flowing aftermarket exhaust, cone intake in the fender. Stage 2v6 ECu from ECUtune aggresive grind on the cams with a nice 100hp shot on N20 and you will be flying
