sure, you can get 220whp with an n/a setup. it's damn hard and takes a ton of money : increased compression, increased displacement (i.e. new pistons and rods and a rebuilt bottom end), injectors, fuel & timing management, cams, cam gears, intake, header, exhaust, and a pile of tuning $$$. and then if you're LUCKY you get 220whp. LUCKY. satan's dyno is on a dynapack, which means you really can't compare it to most of the dynos here. go over in the N/A forum and ask for 220whp dynos and you'll get... a booming silence.
again, it's possible, but to say 'similar to many n/a setups' trivializes the amount of time and money and know-how it takes to get 220whp n/a out of a lude. on the other hand, you can buy a $3,000 jrsc, bolt in on yourself over the weekend and have that much power right out of the box. i'm not arguing one is better than the other (i drive an n/a honda now
) and that's not the purpose of this thread, but an 'average' power level for a jrsc out of the box is equivalent to an extremely impressive, highly tuned, well designed and RARE n/a setup.
