Best Route to get to 300+ to the Ground?

Ok. What will it take to achieve this goal? Safest is what I am looking for. Price really isnt an option because I am coming into a real nice chunk of change in the next week, so willing to spend what it takes to get the car to the 300+ range the safest way possible. Please name the list of mods i will need to get and look into.

PTP's upcoming turbo kit seems to be the most complete kit. SFR makes one as well. Both these will put you well north of 300 whp, but big $$$. If you are looking at around 300 whp, the Greddy kit can get there, but with the money that you will put in you might be close to the kits above.

The Greddy kit is the only FI kit most people have used, it will get you close to 300whp, 280-290 is usually achievable with a few supporting mods. Only 1 person has broken 300, but its likely the external wastegate is what helped him to do it. So if more people had external wastegates, its possible more people could be breaking 300. But I don't think you're going to get much more out of the Greddy turbo. However, Scott has hinted at he may be have some upgrade to get more power out of it, or else it could be a whole new kit he hasn't said for sure.

SFR is also available, but there's not much feedback on it other than a few dyno numbers. PTP should be available sometime in the next 6 months. Both of those will get you over 300whp.

Best part about the Greddy kit is that there's a lot of feedback, a huge amount of support on this forum, and you can start with the base kit for only $3k and upgrade from there. You don't have to drop $8k just to get started.

Yeah...the Greddy kit, while not perfect in the sense that it wont please everyone, gives you the best bang for your buck right now.

I too would like 300whp and that's about it, but I'm a lover of NA and I just don't see that happening anytime soon without adding another rotor to the Renesis or putting a 20B in there.
