The problem is reliability. There's a reason higher hp oem cars are heavier. Look at the actual weights. As you have more torque you get more weight. so yes, you can add hp, but if you don't change your driveline and transmission, don't expect them to last 200k miles, like oem components are expected to.

Also, I wonder what percentage of twin owners actually significantly increase the hp of their car. there are a lot of benefits to having an oem caris. Believe it or not but some people need reliability and warranty on a daily driver. of course everyone on this forum recommends insurance fraud by pulling oem components after the fact. When you start talking about track only toys, that's a different thing altogether.
