200 hp at the wheels or the e-shaft? At the e-shaft, yes. At the wheels, no probably not without some porting. Torque won't be much affected, but your top end will SCREAM.

Porting is something you should do if you've already got your engine torn down. Don't worry about it until you're ready to drop a new engine in.

there is no way you can get both. adding a full exhaust with headers (not pacesetter!!) and an intake will give you more HP, but less bottom end... 200 will be very hard to reach with out porting. porting will cost well over 1000 because you need to tear the engine down and rebuilt it at the same time.

If you dont port, go with race pipe, not header
