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.

12psi should be ok with gze pistons if you are careful and know what you're doing. At boost pressures that high and higher there is very little margin for error. Even a little detonation will kill the engine in a hurry.
