Now as far as my car goes (because a few asked):

in stock form it is 2340lbs, puts down 86whp and same torque.
mine is 2140lbs, puts down 147whp and 164 ft. lbs torque @ 11psi of boost.

My car is tuned via boost pressure sensor ( it's tuned from 5-12psi), so what ever boost I set it at it's tuned for. That particular run I was at 7.5 psi of boost, somwhere in the 130whp range most likely. My car has no intercooler, it has methanol injection, which enables me to run 13.0 afr and 8 degrees timing advance and not go BOOM.

Now those whp numbers may not seem impressive, the whole picture is not seen, When people spit out #'s, that is a peak #. My car has made 198 pulls on the dyno getting tuned, the powerband is VERY impressive and strong. at 3800rpm im already @ 120whp and @ 4000rpm im already at peak torque (164 ft. lbs). So it pulls very nicely at any rpm, I don't have to worry about which gear im in on a roadcoarse as much because it pulls hard even at the bottom end. Also I run on a Dyno Dynamics which is properly calibrated. If I hopped on a dyno-jet my car would easily show 160whp and 180ft. lbs torque.

The thing about this motor, is it is very fragile to knock and detonation, the rods are as big around as a Bic pen. My car is maxed out, unless I throw in rods.

Do you have any kind of tune right now? It would be sweet if you did a build on the internals and then got a tune w possibly a higher boost. What kind of turbo do you have?
