New to threads
Im new to threads this is actually my first post however, I've got an 09x sedan, running ARK catback, FI resonated, stillen gen 3s and Uprev tune, no headers or anything and am pushing 295 granted every Dyno is different but I don't see 330 happening very easily. As stated before because we have auto trans we have a ton of power loss

Car is a 7AT awd sedan. Up for discussion here that will lead me in the right direction. I would love to go twin turbo or supercharged but honestly that's a giant cost I can't bring myself to live with, even with a stillen kit, a catback, teams and oil coolers, a valve body upgrade and a pro tune that's well over $10k, so my hope is to spend about half that and get the most I can all motor, I have searched quite a bit and don't find a whole lot with bolt on awd dyno numbers or what they are capable of compared to rwd cars. I guess the overall dyno queen top number isn't as important as the change in power from stock to modified, but I sure would love to see 330+ awhp and wonder if it's possible?
My plan as of now is open for opinions, what do you guys think, is it possible? Should I change anything or is anything a waste?
Here's my plan:
Z1 short tubes
FI resonated test pipes (have annual visual inspection and think the resonated test pipes will pass off as hfc) or should I just do hfc instead?
Ark catback
Stillen gen 3 intake
Z1 ported upper intake
Z1 ported lower intake
63 mm bore on throttle bodies
Up rev tune by one of the most experienced in the country, Vince at RT tuning
Also considering if a water meth kit would help anything or be worth the extra $400 cost? I know they are mostly used in FI to reduce intake temps and the gains on an n/a setup would be far less, but considering the low cost I wonder if it would enable the tuner to run enough extra timing to get any kind of substantial gain that makes it worthwhile?
Thanks for any input anyone has and please tell me if I'm wasting money on anything, particularly do I need the headers for my goals?

Yes it is possible. I just made 321whp and 264wtq with my 2011 X sedan. I was told if I had test pipes I would of hit 330. I am an idiot and bought hfc a year ago even though my county here in Georgia doesn't require emissions. So yes it's possible. Only things I could of done different or added is swap test pipes with my hfc and install lw oem size pulley. Hope that helps, I know this is a 7 month old thread but stumbled across it in the search

I know is a haul, but JDMASS is having their 2nd dyno day at Granite State Dyno. 3 pulls for some cash (less than 50 bucks) and if you get good numbers you can win some cash back. Easy way to know and to meet some of the folks.

The only "True" WHP is at the track, 1/4 times, MPH and car weight.

13.96 at 103.55. Bad launch on my part also had about 125lns extra weight in the car. Car scaled with me in it at 4170. Big time heavy!! I need to drop weight which I can and improve my launch which is easy enough to do. I'm happy with my trap speed considering the weight. I think Ivan get it to 105.
