Stop trying to make a hotrod SVX, it's never gonna happen. Save that car for someone who appreciates it. Like I said, buy an Impreza/Legacy/Outback and do an STI swap on it. Much more common, much larger tuning scene, much more power options (400+HP is a walk in the park).

What are you talking about?! 400hp is not something you expect out of a Supra or an RX7! 120hp/l is a light tune for either of those! Just because you are too much of a wuss to try it doesn't mean nobody else should! I wanna tune MY SVX to 400hp, have fun with it for 20k miles, ****ing the engine up, then get another one and do the same! How does it affect your life? Just help me out an enjoy someone else achieving what you can't!

A motorcycle will probably always be one of the fastest things on wheels.

As far as I've seen on this forum for 2 years, most people have goals of keeping it reliable and daily driveable! I don't have that goal! So far, I've driven it for less than 5k miles, and it will be the same story after the tune!
So you know, even if it takes a lot to get it to reliably support 400, it shouldn't if you only expect 20k, with no serious racing involved!
I know a motorcycle is faster, the goal is to make the SVX faster than a freaking stock miata!
