What will give me 10 hp?

What will give a 97 gle automatic maxima over 200 hp? All my friend wants is just over 200, he doesn't wanna go crazy. He is just looking for one or two mods to do this. Thanks.

I said y pipe or anything crazy, therefore he doesnt wanna make it a turbo or anything, and he doesnt wanna get a y pipe yet. People can do what they want when they want to their cars.

you wont get much....

you wont get much unless the pipe is there. the stock pipe is very restrictive. therefore most mods that would be in your 10 HP gain is muffler and intake. or something even more "crazy" than a Y-pipe. you can beat the pipe buddy

Hmmm, 10 HP cheap and easy. That's tough. First make sure the car is up to spec. How old are the plugs? He could try replacing them. There are a lot of strong opinions on plugs here. Bosch Platinums (not +4) seem to be a good compromise to me. IMHO you can waste a lot of money on "Superplugs".

If he runs regular gas, use premium. That will allow the ECU to use maximum timing advance.

Check the air filter and replace it if it's dirty, or put on some kind of high flow filter/intake.

Check the fuel filter and replace it if necessary. That's about it.

at the wheels -> SC or Turbo. maybe with full bolt-ons
at the crank -> impossible without anything "crazy"
