Well Dvn, you got the responses you did because the question has no answer. There are 1,000 things that you can do to the car. Some add power, some don't, some make it better, some don't. There is no magic number no matter what your buddies or Facebook may tell you. There are a lot of guys that come on here that have never even driven the car that start throwing around HP numbers that they want and the car "needs to have". For some strange reason 300hp seems to come up a lot. When pressed very few can answer the question "why 300?" other than that is what they want. The few that do answer the question almost always start their response with "well my buddy that has a WRX/Mustang/Camaro says...".
So, leave the numbers game to bench racers and paper power crowd, hit the track and learn to drive it well as it is. Then when somebody says "underpowered" just look them in the eye and say "prove it at the track". Those guys that have all that power but can't drive worth shit will be left in your dust.
