    A buddy of mine is wandering whts the easyest way to get 400RWHP out of a 2.3T?

    What about the rest of the car? I was wondering, with all ths talk about road racing and 400+ hp...what about the brakes? The stock 2.3L brakes aren't going to be safe enough for this type of application. Then there is the 2.3L one legger, the Suspension, and the tires/wheels :scratch: I wonder...
