Nice another hyundai tuner, hows that 2.7 holding up to that turbo, I remember when I belonged to Shark Racing quite a while back people were even having a hard time with he 2.7 holding up to a 75 shot of nitrous. Which is what I was running on my 2.0 Elantra until an accidental 300 shot full power nitrous dump on the track when a jet fell out of the nitrous line when troubleshooting an RPM shutoff switch for the nitrous. Rebuilt that motor only to have it spin a rod bearing probably because I net the crank and never had it checked before the rebuild.

lol the evo comes stock with 270 ish? and I believe the new wrx sti is 305 or 310.

but the S2000 only has like 200 something... comptech supercharger, a few bolt ons and a nice tune, it'll scream down the street... gotta love that 9K rev I miss my integra GSR with the 8k... I got 32 mpg all the time ( shift before Vtec hits ) and when I wanna drive the crap out of it It would pick up and go. Love and miss that car hardcore :/ lol

Do you know how much an Evo, STi or an S2000 costs compared to a Tiburon?

They may be powerful but they cost A LOT! And Integra? You're calling me out for my Tiburon which puts down 300hp 350trq and you used to drive an Integra… yeah….
