i am definitely for better handling than faster on straightaways. i mean, it's more exciting to take corners at 60 MPH than to just drive straight at like 180MPH. so i'd stick with the pro.

i seriously doubt 50 hp either...maybe 30-35 with EVERYTHING you mentioned....the FS-ZE gets 170hp ONLY with the j-spec ecu, which is difficult to come by. You will get more power out of a turbo easily,and you dont have to upgrade the tranny as long as you only go for about a 50-80hp increase...

Less than 50 HP? so sad. What about a ZE engine swap with a turbo? Anybody have any numbers on that?

I honestly do go back and forth... as much as I do love the WS6's, when I think about how much money it would take to get out of my car and into one, I think that I could make my car just as enjoyable to drive as the WS6, minus the horsepower.

you are better off turbo'ing your stock 2.0L
