airjordan223 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The three first basic bolt on mods that people usually do are intake, header, and exhaust. This will probably end up costing you around a grand and maybe net you 5-10 hp. If you want to get a noticeable difference with your money, get a turbo.

cmgogo Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 stock internals you can boost 9-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Although most people just stick to 5-6 for long term reliability on an old stock motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 true on an older motor id run 5-7 just to be safe, but for instance on mine im running 9-12 on stock internals, but then again there is about 7k on the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 you dont have to. you can just get your p28 chipped. as far as hp. it all depends on what tune you get. but it should get you in the 170-180hp range if your lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
