I'm back. Thanks to those that answered seriously not sure what the big deal is maybe I wasn't clear enough but I think I meant what's the best HP to keep it still a balanced car? Something versatile good on track and straights and I'm just a kid guys learning about cars you expect me to have good threads??

When it comes to cars, it's really hard to say. You can have a 1000hp well balance Frs or a 250hp Well balanced frs. It all comes down to personal preference since there are people out there that thinks having over 9000 hp isnt enough and there are people that think having 69 hp is more than enough.

The best answer is..... what do you think?

WWBJD?

Good horsepower? I think 1500HP should keep it balanced.

Seriously though, it might be worth driving the car as is with all 200 horses on the track before figuring out how much. Like you, I'm trying to learn as well, but I'm not making silly threads expecting everyone to hand out answers on a silver platter.

However much power it takes to reach 86 mph no matter where you are.

You need something more efficient. How about shuttle engines?

Let's see who gets where this is from...

Gallo 24, only question now is what are you feeling? 40w? 50w?

Proper answer for now is to upgrade tires, brakes and suspension first. If you get the urge to add more power after that, you'll have a better idea what you're looking for by then.

IMHO, don't bother with intakes or exhaust on the stock engine unless you're looking for more sound. The hp increases are negligible.

If you want to actually improve power you'll need to afford some down time for the car. Also, you live in a place where it's very easy to make your car illegal. After years of cracking down on inspection stations, it's quite near impossible to find a way around that.

My recommendation for someone who wants significantly more power than the FR-S offers is to just buy something with more power. You almost have to look for the least powerful sporty machine around to end up in an FR-S anyway. You could have 300+ hp reliably and without emissions concerns in a 370Z, G37, etc...
