Hp questions

So I'm wanting to achieve maximum HP, currently I'm pushing right at 300 to the wheels. Current setup; Takeda short ram intake, Kinetix HFK, Megan Racing Y-Pipe, then 2.5" straight pipe from Y-Pipe back. I know if I get long tube it will increase a bit and if I get test pipes and headers as well. My main question is will upgrading the lower intake manifold and plenum, will I gain a lot more power??

Porting upper should be sufficient, running full long tube and switch to test pipes. If you want to go all out and try to squeeze all of your power port lower, gte injectors and run e85 tune. You'll be at around 330whp. Maximum power run 3in intakes and port throttle body's

If you're wanting maximum horsepower you should be looking at forced induction.

yea I know that. But I'm looking for max power until then. That's a lot of money to dish out

The HP per dollar sucks for NA. There just isn't a lot left on the table by Nissan.

i know obviously that if I go fi I have to get forged internals, while building the engine, is there anything I should look into upgrading anyways to gain power?? Any suggestions?
