um there aren't any manual 400's. People swap them with a w58.

I know Mitch, who helped me tuned my SC had also tuned his SC4 with an AEM EMS. He dynoed his SC at somewhere around 240 rwhp with just a cold air intake, custom exhaust (no headers), and the AEM EMS. That's about 60 rwhp over stock. Throw in a set of cams and headers and I believe you can gain nearly 100 rwhp. But for that $$, I'd go with a low boost supercharger system.

Fo sho. But my GF's car blew a headgasket and then was totaled while parked by a drunk driver fleeing police. So she's driving the s14 I intend to sell for my SC money. So until she gets another car, I'll just have to gaze longingly at you guy's cars...

Those numbers make me happy in the pants. You're not being sarcastic are you?

Edit: Ok, so you're not being sarcastic! Awesome! I did some more searching and found this on another forum. Maybe this will be useful to other newbs just like me!

To make a long story short, here's a recommended upgrade path for a mild 1uz build, after your maintanance is on point...

In order of importance:
1) Torque Converter
2) Highflowing cats, Exhaust pipes, and mufflers..
3) Headers
4) Piggy Back ECU
5) BFI intake...
6) Supra 93-98 limited slip differential...off an automatic tranny TT....
7) Kelford Cams

The biggest gain that I see come from the EMS, cams, complete exhaust systems, and a true cold air intake. Other parts are to help putting the power on the right track and timing.
