let me explain my screen name, and introduce myself.

Na, just ad a turbo to what ya got.


Good advice there...

But, a turbo'd /6 can stand a LOT of boost (with proper forged pistons and rods) and will surprise a lot of people. Like I say, 500+ horsepower is not very hard to come-by..... ($$$)

But a stock 318 with a turbo at mild boost (say. 8-10 pounds) can easily make that much power.

Just depends on what you want...:-|
