350 HP is definantly not unheard of. Numerous other manufacturers are getting 500+ HP from 4 cylinder motors, it's simply how much you want to spend.
I originally wanted a motor that would produce 350-400 HP but now I just want it period. I am concerned with driveability as well as it lasting 100K mi (engine & trans) & am fully aware that lots of power through front wheels isn't a good thing. Therefore, I am thinking of having my tire wells modified (when bodywork is done) to allow fittment of 225 tires.
Jeff P's car has about 300 BHP which is with a Haltech management system which isn't really something I want on a daily driver car.
I am also looking into larger rims/tires to cope with the extra power & am not worried about the trans taking the power. It's built just like the shifters so I am extremely excited. One of his customers has a 900t which does 12.9's in the 1/4 mi w/o rebuilding it at all.
