Power from 7a, looking for 200 Options

[FallenHero]

Ok, I have set my power goal for my 7a at 200 hp at the wheels.

Now the question is, how?

The obvious answer from most is 'slap on a turbo.' but that's not what I want to hear.

I am going to re-build my engine soon. Here is my plan:

Re-build enging to brand ,new stock condition + a 1.8-2.0mm head gasket to lower compression a hair. Then, underdrive pully, and retard the timing a hair with adjustable cam gears for a 'rolla. Turbocharger +large FMIC and about ten pounds of boost.(maybe up to 14psi).

I have also thought about calling up jet and having the rev-limiter on my car raised up to 6500-6800. What do you guys think about that?

So, with proper tuning and electronics, what kind of power output do yall think I'd get? I have seen turbo 7a's pulling 170ish, So I have high hopes.

keep in mind I am thinking outloud here so...

Thanks for reading.

200hp is a good atainable number. but stock intrenals at 14psi will not last long... personal experience, u need to upgrade the pistons, than the next weak link is the rods..the underdrive is a nice touch. i am rebuilding my 7a for future boosting, but for now my research has come to this. turbo kit and stock internals 7psi is the limit unless u dont want the motor to stay long.(unless u like replacing the landrings and possible more every 2 or 3days..) new fuel pump is a must along with a RR FPR. the t3/t04b hybrid that is popular is good if/when u rebuild with forged internals, until than a basic t3 will flow enough, make sure it is properly intercooler thou. stock injectors are fine for 7, tuning this motor is the biggest step.. i am looking to a piggyback now other than the safc.. the dsm guys seem to be having great sucess self tuning so i am looking for them to help with emanage or aem or another system i have not looked into yet.
