i agree.200bhp in an RST is not an easy task,but its quite achievable.i wanted to get 230bhp from mine with similar torque.after chatting to a motorsport/rally guy where i buy my parts,he reckoned the fastest ones he ever went in were around 200bhp.he said he used to have a customer,who had a lovely rs @ 200bhp,came in one day,said wanted 240bhp money no object,and after he put all the parts on he hated it.torquesteer all the time and wheelspininng to shit.so im going to get to 200bhp and go from there.

IMO for reliable 200bhp u need:-

chip,ind kit,exhaust system,-31 actuator,uprated head gasket,cam.15-16psi an that may only get u 2 190-195 bhp and thats without the things u 4get,like new brakes 2 stop u,better suspension to handle the power,and your clutch/gearbox wont last long.your gonna be straining your conrods and pistons after 220 so if ur batterin it all the time its not gonna last.
and that little lot above will set u back bout 3k an i no il have forgot loadsa things.just to point out to all the people claiming silly figures with fuck all on their car.at least ive got most of the above to achieve my 200bhp lol
