220-240 would be fine too. I'll buy the next gen if it makes that stock. It's subjective for sure but 300 hp is far from "just a numbers" game territory for me. More hp is more acceleration in all...

$5000 is pretty much the complete package with ecu/harness/license. If it was truly highway robbery then someone would be offering the same quality or better for cheaper.

The greatest strain (ignoring RPM) is the power stroke. Mass flow rate is the key. Better headers sap less power to expel exhaust, which results in better cylinder filling, less psi, more mass flow...
