I voted 400+ but my real goal is 10.99 or better ET on pump gas. I really don't know how much whp it takes to run that but I think 400 is close.
Aside from that, I want to be able to pound on the car without worrying that something is going to break. So I am "overbuilding" the car for that headroom. I also want the most power under the curve, even though that means sacrificing peak HP. If I can run 10.99 at the track, but it's a dog on the street and no fun to drive...seems a little counterproductive.

It is a lease (yeah I know). But once the lease is up, I plan on a new turbo, computer, turbo back and of course brakes. BTW, for all of you who laugh at the lease, if after 4 years if my EVO is not worth 9 large, I wrecked it.
