Depends how you treat it mate. I know standard boxes taking 250 horses but they don't get the arse ripped from them, yet 180 horsepower cars that kill them every 3 months because of the way the car gets used.

as said, i'd go for 220bhp max, but need stage 1 and onwards would need to be considered. bearing in mind everyones right foot isn't used the same as others. take it easy and you'd be fine.
