anyone have a desired hp?

I don't care what power I have...that is just for bragging. I just want a Cobb SRI and downpipe.(wiggle)
 
Personally hoping to eventually wind up around 420-450 whp. Going to be a long while before that's attainable though. Built motor, 3071, and a good tune but just a piece at a time.

I have similar goals...I'd be happy with anywhere from 380-420 whp when all is said and done...but of course, that's probably going to have to wait until we have a real tuning solution for these cars.
 
Well... I have a factory freak. With just a MS CAI, I put my car on a dynapack dyno and put down 274whp and 310wtq. About a month or so after that, I put on a racepipe and just a few days ago, I put on a downpipe. I know that I am well over 300whp right now. My wtq should be well over 330. My results without upgrading the turbo, I want to see 350. After the turbo and before the rebuild, I want to see 400-425. After the rebuild, I want to see 500+.
 
idk personally i think a lot of u guys are crazy.....much more than 350 whp/tq is IMO wayyyyy toooo much to be putting down in a FWD car unless you intend to burn rubber through 4th gear lol

i mean i know its fun and all to mod, I'm not denying that -- but if u wanted that type of power why not just start off w/ an STI or an EVO and go from there?

gtfo...
i has mscai, i should get my car dynoed. i have a testpipe waiting for me to install as well.

with just the cai, you're dynoed at 274 whp?

Yep... There was another MS3 that dynoed on the same dyno on the same day about an hour after me. He put down about 250whp. At that time he had a MS CAI, HKS BOV and an ETS top mount.

Agreed
 
imo this car is plenty quick for freeway entering / passing. Most of the time at the end of an on-ramp i am going faster than the freeway traffic, and i have to slow down a bit.
As far as hp goal, i'd want to make this car's claimed bhp into whp. I am guessing cobb sri and test pipe should take care of it. But even out of the box this car is very capable.
