i was just wondering exactly how much horsepower do you think you could get outta our cars going all n/a? what would it take to reach that(parts)? and for the sake of arguement lets say you have endless money.

I have seen 500-600 HP NA I think it was (KOREAN DRAG CAR)

But in the US no one can get that cause they don't have the ECU tuning capabilities.

NA on the Beta for North America sucks, sorry

NA?

No way man, it's not gonna happen. If someone told you that Spike, they lied bro.

To answer your question mang, you'll be lucky, VERY lucky, to kick about 170 to 180 with some VERY stimulating mods. Even if you had a quad Throttle Body you'd prolly only kick about 200.

Not at all.

Having a 14 second NA Tib though, is.

Littlejohn was running 13.4's before he rebuilt.
