I hoped to someday get around 200hp out of my 12a while keeping it n/a and carbed, wondering if my expectations are too high, and what i'd have to do to get there.

 

welcome to the board.

assuming you're keeping it "streetable", the simple answer is your expectation are a bit high.

 

Thanks for the info! About how much power could i expect to get while keeping it streetable?

 

I can't say I've paid too much attention over the years, but generally I think 150s, maybe 160s. what setup are you planning to run?

 

I'm planning on going as simple as possible. I've already removed the rats nest and air pump, and i plan on getting a RB header (not sure which one yet) and an RB Holley intake kit for sure, but for now the nikki will work.

 

oh I forgot to state that that's flywheel, just so we're clear.

Holley with RB's long primary exhaust system should give you a really good bump in power on a healthy 12A.

 

I hope so. Although i'll have to see at that point whether i like how the car feels, maybe thatll be close enough to 200 for me
