Depends where in the power band the HP gain is.



It's all about the torque curve with me, I'd rather have torque down low with a slight decrease in peak HP than a gain in top end HP with a loss of low end torque.



For numbers sake, I've tuned a 500+ HP civic hatch, so at least that much for a "toy" car. For my daily driver, more like 220 or so, just becasue it's not too much more than the 140 stock.

300-350. That way I can drive to work fine, but if someone annoys me on the road, I could blow them outta the water.
