Cheapest way to gain some Horsepower!!!

I was wondering if anybody knew the cheapest way to gain horsepower on a 2006 Chrysler 300 Base RWD. I was looking at a Jet Performance Module for $250 that claims a 22 hp increase, as well as a cold air intake which claims a 10 hp increase. Any other suggestion on how to gain some more power on my 3.5 Liter V6?

Jet Perfomance chip will not give you 22hp gain and the intake is nothing but a noise maker.
The AirHammer for the V6 i believe will have some HP gain, but i dont know if it is out yet.
You can go with dual exahaust,some hi flow cats, a B&G flash

What would the horsepower gain on the B & G and dual exhaust be? mmm nitrous no...I'm looking for my car to be more of a luxury car with a nice bit of kick when I step on the throttle...I'm not looking for over-bearing power...as for the 300C...the main reason I didnt get it was because it has a 5.7 Liter V8 (consumer a lil bit more gas than the V6) and because used it costed about $3500 - $4000 more than my base model. I figured, hey for $4000 I could throw some 20s or 22s on there and due a few half assed mods to bring me closer to 300 hp, which is my goal. But at the same time I dont want to sacrifice fuel efficiency. I know....its a dream.

yeah once you start 4000 grand is out the window ..lol...i personally started with exhauast and im doing bg last...before gettn into the motor... but now im done with bolt ons...
not sure on the v6 but getting the car to act the same all day with no lagging with minor upgrades would be your best bet..
tstat cai then focus on whatever your complaints are abut the car

These are for a 5.7 so the hp and cost will be somewhat off but should give you a good idea where to look. Each one of these mods will increase your hp and increase your mileage. High flow cats will probably give you the best bang for your buck with no fitment issues. I am not familiar with the 3.5 so some of the mods for the 5.7 may not be available for your car.

· CAI (Cold Air Intake) / 0-15 RWHP/ $150-$450 parts / $100-$150 labor
· Headers / 10-15 RWHP/ $500-$1,200 parts / $150-$300 labor
· High Flow Cats / 5-10 RWHP / $300-$500 parts / $50 labor
· High Flow Exhaust / 5-10 RWHP / $1,000-$1,200 parts / $150-$300 labor
· Tuner / 0-15 RWHP / $250-$500 parts
· PCM Flash / 10-20 RWHP/ $600-$800 parts
