But again...how many 350 hp cars have you driven? 350 whp is also more like 400+ hp at the crank. All that on a mid engine, rwd car that has no driver aid systems like the new cars...might be more than you're ready for. I don't know how much driving experience you have but I've seen plenty of people overpower their cars before they're ready. I'd keep the engine close to stock...maybe a few bolt-ons and spend some money on track time and skid pads.
Ben on the boards is running around 350 whp with the twosrus.com street brawler kit. I know he did a full rebuild and spent around $10k... |
I wouldn't exactly hit 350whp over night, my deuce is paid for 100% by me and its kind of hard when i cant even get a regular job (parents wont let). I just have these occasional come ups of a few thousand dollars from acting and such and maybe im getting a little carried away but I should be pushing 270whp by the end of march then learning to drive that for a couple months and hopefully getting to join the 350 club by next year.
SUPPOSEDLY I have a jdm swap but im not to sure, ill let you guys check it out next week. I think its the stock motor with 120k on it but then again I could be making the wrong assumptions.
