RE: What engine to boost? - 4/15/2007 2:53:37 AM    Sldwys11687   Posts: 23 Joined: 4/11/2007 Status: offline the idea was to start off with around 250 hp, a mustang gt killer but i figure that between the engine swap and the bolt on turbo kit with tuning to make it streetable will be the start, i just wanna build a monster and 500 hp is a nice round number and it's half way from 1000 which is my dream to have one day, a 1000hp car...not a civic cuz that would just be rediculous! and dangerous.
