Just bear in mind mate that you can give the car as much power as your wallet will allow - but it's still a FWD car which means you still need to get the power down.............you could well get taken off the lights by a car far less powerful as he'll be able to put the power down. Once you get going you'll be off but even then you may still get wheelspin. This then places a lot more strain on the moving components (gearbox, driveshats, clutch etc). BHP in a road car is pub talk bullshit in real terms - I went for torque and midrange which is where you really notice it rather than just 'numbers'.
