ok so i do my resaerch, i dedicate hours to reading and rudimentry wrenching...and way too much driving BUT...
STILL A ROOKIE... question:
how much horse will my 2.3 s withstand before things start twisting or blowing. im not looking to hit 400 at the wheels anytime soon... (and no turbo, just "basic" inhale/exhale and pullys,electronics and what not)...when im all done ill probably be at only at 200.... nothin crazy

If you arent adding a turbo or Nos it will handle any power you can give it by adding things such as intake, exhaust and other NA modifications. Now keep in mind I said power, not abuse as the two are obviously very diffrent.
