After reading back through the original posters mods I can't believe he would achieve more than around 190-200 BHP. He has made no mention of charge cooling and as we all know the C900 will not produce big horses with the standard (crap) intercooler. ALSO any tuning shop worth the name will have a large capacity fan so the concerns about getting enough air in the front shouldn't be an issue. This is my simple big power test! Does the car spin the wheels in 3rd gear on dry tarmac? Yes you have big power, NO then think again. P.S. My car was doing this and the tires are standard size Eagle NCT2.
