300 on an n/a block? 300 from a stock T2 swap with a haltech? this is full of fail.

Its not just a haltec ported intake and small street port with full cold air intake racing beat truedual headers to single exit exhaust t2 fuel rails 550/750 injectors walborl fuel pump... Putting out about 200 right now... But there's not much more I can pull out from it so T2 is all I can think of to get to my desired power

chances are that's what I'm gonna do so I can build it my way... But just selling and then buying a T2 would be pretty simple lol

200whp is plenty of hp. Ionly have about 200whp or less and I keep up with 300-700 hp drift cars with my stock t2 w/ebay fmic and only 6psi stock boost, stock ecu, s4 t2 injectors, stock turbo. Petal to the metal baby & clutch kick like a mad man , all day, all night yee..

Didnt you say your vert smoked a sti? Then it should be plenty of fast. I never raced a sti, but I did race a supercharged camaro 3 years ago and itwas dead even from rolling 3rd gear on the freeway till 150mph then I maxed out and he kept going lol I think i had like 14psi of boost that time lol

N/A with spool of turbo !!! 200 hp is plenty. whats the point of 300 if ur just guna hard park u kna what I mean. yeah breh
seriously man, your vert is almost done, why dont u finish it and at LEAST drive it on the track at a grip event. Thats the place where you can really see your car's potential compared to others. Your just being emo, because you havent really drove it yet. Streets dont count. Canyon running with noobies dont count either. JUST go to adams on tuesday grip event.. It may look like a small go kart track, but when your in the track you can get pretty fast and technical.. or go to dais academy on august 1st at el toro... something man..

if you are looking for 300 hp on an na for a daily then find a stok 3 rotor na and put it in your vert and call it a day other wise sell it and find a t2 or a shell and build from the ground up its not hard and it can be done.....sit back and look at all your possibilities and then make your desicion dont let us make the desicion for you if you let us do that then its not your car you build a car to your liking and not ours find out what you want map it out and put it into play and make sure you have the money to do it.....

Dyno sheet to prove 200hp? I think you'll need at least a bridge to get near that.

^

its hard to get a na 2 rotor 200whp..let alone if it has turbo 2 rotors in a Na motor !?!
if you can get 160whp , thats already awesome in a s4 or s5 na..
but I never fully doubt other peoples engine builds.. I guess anything is possible.
