I'm hoping for 400hp to the wheels....for now . I have a 300zx Twin Turbo for the days I feel the need for some RWD action. AWD is the only platform I have never owned, I look forward to seeing what all the hype is about. Is 400hp realistic with bolt-ons and a stock turbo? I see 350hp+ everywhere, but I want to be part of the 400hp club

400 on the stock turbo is a tall order and would require better octane. The evo8's aren't as strong as the 9's out of the box and require more mods but see my sig for what it takes to get near 400awhp on pump gas.

That's what I figured. Are Evo9's that much better than the 8? What experience I do have is with the 8.

it's been said that the heads are better and the mivec helps make the difference in the cams
