I was not considering a turbo, or anything hardcore before, because I am not a street racer, I was when I was very young, but now, I just want to enjoy the car, so with that been said, I would be happy with 230 hp , and maybe 200 lbs of linear torque. I was never thinking on reach 300 horses on this car, and I used to believe that with the car weight and proportions, the performance would not be as bad as I do now

No matter what anyone tells you, you will never reach 230rwhp 200tq NA. It's too much work and not cost effective, you are better off FI. I loved the car stock it handles how it should, I took a turbo cause there are many steep hills in my area (car starts slowing down even WOT...) If it didn't have that problem I probably wouldn't have boosted it, eventually I ended up swapping out the driveshaft and entire clutch assembly. Let me just say it feels GREAT! before I shed 40lbs of rotational mass I was at 240whp/185tq, I could only imagine there is less power loss through the drivetrain so I probably gained somewhere between 5-10rwhp. I may or may not increase power down the road, but for now I just want loads of tires and brake pads. It's not about having a huge number on a dyno when it comes to tuning my car, it's getting the most enjoyment out of it from every mod I do to the car. I have yet to regret anything I've installed on the car, each piece just comes together like a puzzle for me making the experience exponentially more engaging. If you are looking for a traffic light warrior this car isn't it... this car is a blank canvas with the best piece of parchment available to write on; you choose the ink for your quill, whether it is cheap or expensive. I have this car setup to drive year round from -20 to 100F. It has made many road trips and spends zero time in a garage (have almost 30,000 miles). It ultimately depends on what YOU want, I test drove a Z cause at that time it was supposedly a better bang for buck and completed hated it aside from the power. If your goal consists of gunning every stoplight you see then you should just buy a Mustang, it's that simple. You can go through the list and see you wouldn't be the only one to trade for one.
