The whole cost / hp ratio is what I was getting at... you can add 25 or so hp to a stock 22re for about 1000 total (considering the cost of totally rebuilding the engine). And then you'll be averaging about 25 hp more for every 1000 dollars you spend on top of that.

I could argue that 190 hp out of a 4 cylinder is not un-heard of and has actually been accomplished many times on stock vehicles during the late 80's through 90's... and often, those mod's, properly worked, could exceed 400 hp at the wheels...
... but that's not the point here.

I'm going outside to hug my 4runner.
