what compression you can run on a certain octane gas depends on how well you've tuned the ignition timing/retard. as far as throttle bodies, i'm not sure on that one. i would just get an aftermarket throttle body from sr or something. oh, btw, save your money and go turbo. it's the only way you'll really get any power out of that accent.

If you go gonzo on your buildup, dump the stock ecu, raise the compression to 12:1 or 13:1, and go with quad throttle bodies, and a host of other mods...you can expect about 200 WHP. Keep in mind, all of those mods will set you back about $8000 to $10,000. Sink that same 8K to 10K into a turbo, and you'll have 400 WHP+ and daily driver relability.
