Sleeper build!!!!

So i have a 2001 v6 alero coupe. I have a 9sec camaro as well. But, all the kids around my house drive there gay little hondas and i want to mess with them. They are scared of the camaro so i figured id do some work to the alero lol. But idk what to do. Im trying to get around 250hp. It comes stock with 170. I wanna do exhaust and a cold air intake. I need some help with extra stuff to hit the 250 mark.

I don't know how hard it is to stuff a GXP V8 in there, You might have a pioneering project here.
Be warned, some of those gay little Hondas can be frighteningly quick, not because of their power, but their light weight.

Like Roger said, it's all power to weight ratio. Amp up the power, you'll go faster, but eventually, you have to make it heavier so it will hold together. The way to beat a ricer is via his friends, if you have a bigger car with more power, but you both stick 4 people in your cars, it will hurt him more.

How much do you care about the Alero? You could put a thoroughly unwise nitrous shot on it, and either hose the ricers, or hose your block.
