Rather high.

I would not push the limits however without new rod bolts however as they seem to fail first. Of course you could just do drop in rods and pistons and go well over 600whp.

4g63 motors are really powerful but like mention rods,bearings,pistons should be the first to change although you could still push the limits with the stock bottom end and end up with a 500 whp car.

500 isnt too hard to hit with the evo, (if you have a good bit of cash laying arround)
Basic mods are easy to find on here but here is a quick list:
turbo back exhaust
manifold
Evo Green turbo
intake and filter
intercooler and piping
Evo 9 DV
780cc injectors
head studs
walbro 255
stronger clutch (ACT or Excedy)
stainless clutch line
272 camshafts

All of that plus a very good tune on a stock 2.0 *should put you close to 400 WHP, If you wanted to risk meth injection you *could hit 500whp



*guesstimates, not actual figures.

i not saying that you are wrong, but i have noticed that if the rod bolts don't fail in the first 20k they don't seem to have any problems, im sure there are some cases where this is not true, but normally it is correct.
