Aftermarket is already there.......engine and boost wise! Bill Hahn @ Hahn Racecraft has already gotten the stock 2.4 n/a to reach 400 crank (348whp).

He's factoring in the 15% drivetrain loss when coming up with those crank #'s though. I honestly want some dyno sheets of all of this to see how clean it gets to that number throughout the RPM's. I know what he says is true because he's the one who got a daily driver 2.2eco cavalier (OMG A CAVALIER I KNOW) into the high 11's earlier this year.

That thing was putting down somewhere in the range of 400whp with a mildly built engine (forged rods and pistons) and other knic knac stuff (stg 4 clutch, axles, and deletion of its balanced rods).

It'll be a nice replacement for the miata as it's already proving this with current SCCA wins and has gotten some miata enthusiasts to switch over.

Just some info to open some eyes even tho most won't care.......
