log or short ram manifold and t3t04e 50-57 trim should get you close to 300whp. This will stay as cheap and as light as possible for great fun and auto X purposes. Keep boost low for auto x. If youre going for boost keep the 3". If NA then 2"-2.5" will get some torque back. ---

you want quick spooling between shifts and bottom end grunt (lol forgot its a honda). Small frame turbo or a supercharger with enough flow and pulley size to put you in the power range you want. 300hp is still going to spin rather easy on a fwd. If the small turbo spools fast, like 2000 rpm the tq onset will be a lot and might break the tires loose if it doesn’t ramp up smooth. So my bet would almost be supercharger because it can have a smooooth curve of power which is more drivable and more consistent. not having to worry about harshly hitting power from a turbo to break traction or shift weight fast in the car will let you focus on hitting turns correctly. ---

^ fo showw. Smaller turbo that spools quick would be better, especially for auto crossing. Also, I don’t know shit about turbos so take it fwiw. ---

finding a cheap jackson racing supercharger might be the easiest and cheapest, id rather that for a small auto x course tbh. but youd prob be around the low 200whp area with that tho… so if you really want a 300whp teg then id go with a small cheap turbo setup. and plz remember that either way you go, dont cheap out on getting the car tuned ---
