The stock exhaust system is highly restrictive. We gteched a .4 second consistent drop w/ and without a muffler back in january on a 2000sh lude w/ intake and crank pulley.

How'd you get 1.5K for bolt-ons plus cams? $700 exhaust, $300 header, $250 intake, $500 cams, $200 valves and retainers, $??? installation. Heck, that doesn't even include cam gears and pulleys, the other bolt-ons.
200hp at the wheels is NOT easy with N/A. Sun Dang had 200hp with I/H/E and full Endyn headwork (which includes cams, springs, retainers, etc.) that probably cost him a LOT more than 3k, nevermind 1.5k.
As for everyone saying turbo this, turbo that... I'm sorry, but as cool as turbo is, I'd hate to install and tune it. It just seems like such an insane PITA compared to a supercharger. I'd trust my mechanic with a JRSC, not a Drag kit.
