400hp? thats an extreme goal especially for daily driven. i think the only person who can answer that question is Boostfed. (i apologize to the other 400hp+ honda civic people who i didnt list )

i think having a car thats pushing out 350 to 400hp is original.. people all the time throw engines in there and then turbo it at 4-10psi... i want and engine and able to have the block strong enought to be able to withstand 300 to 400hp.
