Here's some more help...

Since your getting a 96 240sx, it will have 155hp at crank, which is usually about 130hp to the wheels... since you didn't feel like doing research on mods and gains, I'll summarize it for you:

Injen Cold Air Intake - ~5hp peak to the wheels.ASP pulley or Unorthodox pulley - ~5hp peak to wheels.Hotshot headers - ~10hp peak to wheels.Exhaust - ~5hp peak to wheels.Cams - ~10hp peak to wheels if combined with all mods above.

There you have it, with all those mods and a tuned engine, you will net about 160-170hp to the wheels. If you want more horses, you will have to add nitrous, swap out the pistons to get higher compression, or do major head work. In other words, any gains above 160-170hp and your looking at major $$$$$.

see, that wasn't so hard. thanks bruinbear,....... I'd rather to my research by asking my own questions, if ya wanna call me lazy, go for it, after all......that SEARCH button is so far up on the screen. :p

as for the high school stuff, I was just letting everyone know I wasn't a high school kid throwing stickers all over my car, which I think you guys had me out to be. I don't have anything against high schoolers punking out there cars, just don't be a poser, they just get on my nerves, otherwise do whatever you want to your cars, you can even put racing stripes on your dodge neon and think your the fastest kid in your school for all I care...*sigh
