So you need to ask your self, are you building a race car or a street car. If its a street car, understand that 400hp is still gonna feel amazing, and even on the best circumstance There arnt gonna be alot of chances for you open that power up leagally. So yea do you want the most power possible at the sacrifice of drivibility, or do you want a powerfull car that can be daily driven. Just think on that
Here, here. I couldn't have said it better. I actually got tired of my car because I had to sacrifice pretty much all comfort to make the hp I did. It was fun for a while, but a vibrating car with an unspring 6-puck clutch and a stiff suspension gets ollllllld :hs:

It's not unheard of and you will get a crap load of power and amazing spooling out of a high compression boosted motor. :yes:

also needs high octane fuel, and will get shitty gass millage and will require exstensive tuning as any error on timing is gonna have some nasty results
