Running rich won't make more power. It will make less power.

You won't make 200hp without forced induction without spending a LOT of money on making the engine breathe at higher than stock rpm. And you'll be giving up the low end torque for high end torque. It's usually not a good plan for a street driven engine.

I am not talking about switching the heads thats messy I used to do that with hondas, sumthing always didn't work, I talking about some cam's for the tc from crane or someone like that, with the upgrade fuel system and intake.

I'm thinking like this...
Fuel rail, fuel pump, upgrade injectors 550cc, feul regulator
Cai intake, alpha works throttle body
Camshafts, titanium springs and retainers, valve adjustments

I've got pricesbreaks on everything but the camshafts I was wondering if anyone could tell me if for the bank I'm thinking of spending is the hp/tq gains worth it.

Also I still thinking turbo/nos down the road so these parts would help me later.

Where's your engine management solution? eManage? F Con V? None of that stuff will be worth a dime if you can't control it, and the OEM ECM isn't going to adjust itself to work with all that stuff. It can't.

You're new here, so I'll be gentle about "power pulleys" and the like, but they are significantly dangerous to run, particularly because we have a chain driven oil pump. I would not run one on my dog's lawnmower. When ATI, Fluidamper, or TCI makes a proper damper for the engine, then it's a good solution. What is available right now is all crap.

All the mods you are decribing will != forced induction. They will make things marginally better, but you will not come close to even the TRD SC and it's the most marginal of all FI in terms of pure hp gain.

A cat in MD with a lawnmower? I shudder at the thought! I can just imagine a cat cutting grass, driving wherever the heck it wants with no apparent logic at all. Too scary for words. OK, enough about the dog's lawnmower...
