lol if a full point was worth 25hp i would have an all motor car for sure, i couldn't jusitfy spending that much money for 380whp... and thats in a 4v. Man just thinking about that makes me smile even if you're talking bhp going from 9.25:1ish to 11.5:1 is like 60hp haha 365 bhp from nothing but a bump in compression would be awesome. I'd have a 400whp+ n/a car.

yeah. a full bolton PI gt with longtubes and stage1 cams will hit just shy of 300rwhp usually, and stage2 cams just over (average grinds obviously, some cams are more/less aggressive than others)

IIRC = if i recall
