i'll have to do some digging, but iirc, it's somewhere around the 400whp mark...and no, i'm not crazy, it's been push pretty freakin high.

i'm sure he'll chime in himself and give us the correct numbers, but i'm pretty sure he's around the 300whp mark.

i want to shoot for somewhere around 350-400 rwhp.

haven't decided on turbo specs yet, as i'm going to use a z31 for shaking stuff down after the rebuild.

Metal Head Gasket, ARP Headstuds, Forged Pistons, Valves, I need to find some better valve springs and a new cam. I think the stock rods should be able to take it, i'll run some forged rods if need be. Hopefully i can find some piston squirters as well to keep everything cool inside.

i met a guy here in Chino, CA that said that his s13 runs 10's in the quarter mile. I didn't ask what kind of hp numbers he's running, but it would have to be pretty high to hit 10s. He has a built motor to high hell and works at a hotrod shot. I dont know his name as I didn't ask because I was in a hurry. His S13 is silver on upper half and black on the lower half. He also has a Veilside body kit on it. That guy is crazy.

my goals are for about 250-300, nothing that big, I just want a fun street car, and have no need for anything above that.

I think 250whp would be the best/highest number for my goal of a streetable SOHC 240. It would mean that I have enough torque and hp to have lots of fun with at autoX, drift events, and just around town.

Got to beat them vipers. They are pretty nice....love being valet. Saw one run off the road the other straight into a ditch. No damage "except for some possible" scratches from rocks. Working on my project right now..still deciding if I should turbo the SOHC or go dual.

Hey why the hell not..I mean it would make mine stand out from the rest just tryign to decide if it would be worth putting a twin setup on it when I could invest it into suspension work.
