Power mods for the I-5

[Wisha Haddan H3]

I've been thinking about ways to improve power on a vehicle, and it seems to boil down to air intake, exhaust output, efficiency of burn, internal friction, and aerodynamics. Decals alone add 20 hp, but that's for another thread

Most performance mods try to achieve more power by getting more air and fuel into the combustion chamber. I'm thinking about hi-flow filters, mandrel bent air intakes, superchargers, turbos, throttle body spacers, aftermarket fuel injectors and such.

What have you tried that works? And what do think is a bunch of crap?

I think most of it is crap.

A Supercharger or Turbo, won't be much help to an inline 5 that is maxed anyway. Hell only GM could get another 20 hp out of it!

You'll just start breaking sh1t

My bs way of saying....I have no f'ing idea

Yeah, there's a lot of crap out there. I've seen people mod their MAF sensor, PCV valve, throttle body valves, or install home-built s/c's (inline fans), fuel line magnets, modded (out-of-spec) sensors, grounded capacitor plug wires, and lots more wacky stuff.

I'm hoping for some serious input on chipping and airflow mods that could add a little oomph without starting a fire or killing the engine.

You know, like maybe an army surplus rocket motor to mount on the back
