Re: New to the svx world

300hp out of an SVX is doable, however nothing will be as cheap or as easy as it is with a Honda because there pretty much are no bolt-on mods for our cars. There is a supercharger kit but I'm not sure if he still has it, I'm sure he'll chime in. He's currently working on a turbo kit but I don't know how far he's gotten. These cars are NOT rocketships, they are fairly heavy, and there is little you can do to lighten it up due to the thickness of the sheet metal used in the chassis. However, they are a fun car and there are still plenty of things that can be done to improve handling and performance. If you are just looking to make it better than stock, that's definitely doable, however don't expect to make a 10 second car out of an SVX unless you have 15-20 grand and are good at fabricating.
