A stock 96 puts out about 65 HP. Put two of them in and you'll get your 130

Drop in a 'busa engine and pull 1 sparkplug wire. That should get you 130-150 hp level.

You see where I'm going with this?

I was pretty sure too. But I was absolutely positive that the 100 hp part was dead wrong.

If you're looking for 130 horses, save yourself a ton of money and just go metric.


I caught the sarcasm and got a good chuckle out of it.

Your going to have a week link somewhere between the fuel tank and where the rubber contacts the road that is going to be a problem when you crank up the HP very much.
Good Luck
