23424, How much hp out of a NA 95 Talon??

How much hp out of a NA 95 Talon?? I am looking to get about 300 hp to the wheels out of my car by the time i am done with the engine. What would it take? Or should i just say fahq it and buy a Hahn stage 2? I love the sounds of turbo but it would be mighty schweeeet to get to my mark by spending a lil here and a lil there as opposed to $2,300 in one lump sum. Less whining from teh girlfriend as well ;)

its gonna take a lot more than 2300 bucks to achieve 300 wheel hp if you stay naturally aspirated. just save for a turbo :-)

my engine has ab00t 95k on it. so if i go turbo i should rebuild. I know the person before me didn't take care of it. It had some really old plugs in it when i got it. i am gonna have ot replace most of the exhaust piping as it is rusted and the muffler has a hole in it. besides that though i don't think it was beat on :thumbsup .....just poorly maintained :(. To make a long story short, i am not thinking my engine could handle a turbo, and if it can i am not sure how long it could. Therefore i figure NA would be the way to go since i could slowly add power here and there. A huge sudden increase in power could hurt my baby, and that is bad mmmkay? :nono

300hp to the wheels is nearly impossible if you stay NA. Youd have to come up with more than 175hp without using turbo/n2o/supercharger (not that we have one).

good luck though

well....i guess 300 after a 75 shot would suffice....unless i can get enough peeps to sway me that a turbo would be a good idea.

Get a turbo or get rid of the car.

this should answer some of your 300hp+ NA questions

yeah seriously check out HRCs site it's very convincing that turbocharging is the cheapest way to gain horsepower. SO you gotta make a choice am I gonna go NA or am I gonna go turbo cuz there's a point where you can't have one without going backwards.

300HP NA would require a lot of tuning, engine work, and engineering.
