What's the most hp anyone has squeezed out of a normally aspirated ride? Is the SC worth the headaches versus a done up (pulley, full exhaust, full intake, chipped, flywheeled) none blower car. I've already got a Stillen Pop charger, Stillen Cat back. I'm considering a Y, chip, flywheel and pulley which would probably bring the car to around 240 hp (best guestimate) and be more reliable? Any thoughts? Can a normally aspirated 98 automatic hold it's own verus an sc'd auto?

If your car is an auto, you can't do a light weight flywheel.

Nope. Even if your 240hp is accurate, its not going to put that much down at the wheels. Stillen claims an 80hp gain at the flywheel, which will bring the total at the flywheel to around 270. The SC is def. worth it, if you've got the $$$ to spend. If not, do all the bolt ons, Don Cooper's VB mod, level 10 tranny upgrade, and you'll be set. If you still need more power, go with a low shot of NOS. Installed and used properly, you won't see any excessive engine wear.
