<< just read an article in Turbo and High Tech Performance about a 364 HP

 hell was the dyno guy smoking?? Even with a 50 hp shot off nitrous how the 
 hell can you get 364 horsepower from a 8v 2.0 liter with stock internals??? 
 That's equivalent to almost 400 HP from our favorite 10V 5 cylinder. Am I 
way 
 out of line or is there some merit to this claim???

 Dreaming of 400 HP..

	Agreed!  At 14psi the most power he could be pushing would be his 
output times the number of atmoshperes (approximately 2 bar) so 2*115hp or 
230...
