For all the mods on which I got prices, I mentioned above I used list prices to make comparisons simple. Obviously parts can be had cheaper (new & used). However how cheap one can get parts could be part of whole new thread! With regards to the list prices on the Comptech icebox, from their site:

Ice Box, 94-01 Type R & LS/RS/GS $169.00
"Must be used with either the Comptech Intake Kit,
or Comptech Air Filter Upgrade"
Air Intake Kit, Comptech Sport (97-01 Type R) $189.00

Total $358. If only the filter is added, then total cost is $169+$69=$238

I am interested in the cost of George's old setup. If he got 182 hp at a [quote:9b761bc9f5]cost of Total - $1144

So, $1144 / 22hp = $52 per hp increase (based on 158 hp stock).[/quote:9b761bc9f5]

Then to get to 192 hp it cost a total of $3963 (list) according to what SMSP & George said, or an extra $2819 for 10 hp more, which equates to $282/hp for those extra 10 hp. This is expensive to add 10 hp.

With regards to the use of peak hp, I am quite conscious of how this could skew the cost numbers slightly, if one is tuning for more mid-range torque. However having just come back from two track days at Watkins Glen, when exiting the esses at full throttle with my stock ITR motor, I was at 6700-7000 RPM in 4 th at the entrance to the back straight, and never was able to get past 8500 RPM before the brake point. So torque in this RPM range is what would have helped me the most there, and this would be pretty close to where the peak hp is made. In city driving, the priority would certainly be torque in the lower ranges. But in the Sport Compact Car article where they reviewed the Toda ITR and others, track time was the metric. This means tuning for maximum torque above the gear shift RPM, which generally would be quite similar to tuning for maximum hp in an ITR. I just want to spend the money once (if all goes well) and was looking for how to get to a NA 200 whp the cheapest way. Dyno curves with build details for 200 hp are pretty rare.
