It gives you a nice list of things to start with. The thing to remember when pushing more power is that you need to be careful with how far you go. The more power you're pushing, the greater the chance you're going to blow something else on your engine. Take into consideration that only so much can be expected from the stock internals and that everything needs to be upgraded accordingly.

agreed whyte. people always look for cheap horsepower but you cant be expecting Horsepower without problems with components. If your looking for the best gain in Horsepower, your looking at maxamizing your air flow, optimizing fuel, and upgrading internal components (the best thing being a complete engine rebuild). After you can get through that you can expect, not only a great gain from a turbo, but ontop of that a great performing ENGINE. You cant expect a cheap horsepower gain without risking the engine or power.

I'd like to see you blow an engine up from making too much power WITHOUT the use of nitrous or turbo. It would take a hella lot of money to do that. So I don't think thats an issue unless you do one of the two things I mentioned. End of story.

knowing most people low... they go for the 150 shot of throttle in a bottle and end up in a ditch wondering why their engine block just shot through their hood

I'm just saying its pretty hard to blow an engine without the use of nitrous or boost. You'll have a hard time getting 200whp out of the 2.0L SOHC. Even if you do get that much power you still aren't that likely to blow your engine up. I'd worry about blowing up my differential or tranny before the engine.....
