how much hp could i get

i just bought a turboxs fmic, cobb intake. i have a full helix exhaust (up/down and exhaust and love it. i have a cobb acessport and was wounderinf if it will work with the fmic. my top mount was detroyed by bugs and all the fins where bent so i got this. i am putting a grill mesh in frount of it before i re install the bumper so no rocks or bugs hit it and bend them. i hade it tuned around 230whp at stage 2 and i am looking for 300whp and i will be fine. i was woundering what else i need to have a reliable 300whp car. any input will be helpfull.

"Reliable" & "300whp" are mutually exclusive.

The ap won't work with the fmic or the intakeunless you get a custom tune. Be prepared to spend more money for any gains in power at all.

What he said ^^ Your accessport is capable of custom tuning... Just find one locally, and you have to upgrade your current AP to get a protune. However, you might already have a protune, because you said it was TUNED at 230whp... That statement kind of implied that it was a custom tune (ie protune with the AP)
