QUOTE And I think everyone will agree that 190-225 is usually not considered "crazy horsepower". it IS crazy horsepower for a high compression, ecnomy, motor with bone stock internals and a factory ecu. its kind of like saying you want to take a bone stock 300hp STI, and make a mild 600hp out of it. thats doubble what it was ever built to do. i think people make a mistake when they dont think about what motor they are starting from and just think about wheel power or psi. you should look at it in terms of % above what the stock motor was built to do. a mild gain would be 10-50% of what the stock motor was built for. while an extreme gain would be 80% and up. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Even if i only hit 350 whp on the 7agte thats 258 whp over stock that 3+ times more power than it started with. 200 whp my not seem like alot with super cars running around with 600 700 1000 horse but most of those cars started at 250-300 horse so there only doing what we did doubling our horse power with some exclustions like supra's with 1000 plus whp. But on our little cars and unknown motors ans no factory support i think we did very well. Its big i think 250whp is perfect for daily driven celica its more power than the celica needs but thats me but nice to have if you need it on the highway traction is always a factory in FWD cars always will be i think that point is aroun the 250whp point after that its useless power until you get traction like in the upper gears like when on the high way or toward the middle end of the 1/4 mile This post has been edited by nik: Feb 22, 2006 - 5:39 PM -------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
