**edit***
afterthought: if i get REALLY rich and have nothing better to do maybe i can do a stroker AND the twincharged mod, wouldn't that be killer, then i'd only have to focus on getting it to stick to the ground. anyone heard of a rwd cooper s? as that would be fun too
You know from reading your posts, it looks like you are really confused. Like others have said here, when you are ready, sit down and really think about what you are trying to accomplish and then read threads and call different vendors. You seem to be going in circles right now

you're right, i have no idea what i want to do to MY car but don't get that mixed up with me being confused i am in no way confused. uneducated yes, but that takes time and a lot of reading and questions. which is exactly what i am doing.

but i do know exactly what i will be doing to the wife's car and that is the pulley, and intake soon, and exhaust later this year, that i know for sure. i want the pulley for power and the other two are just for the sound, if i could get near 200whp that would be great but if not, still going to do it

but i am still new here, it sounds to me like the stroker engine mod if sold would be a great base to build off of, then tailor everything to work with it. it all really depends on pricing. now my really rich comment is not me being confused about what i want it is me being unsure about my budget, i know what i would do if i had unlimited budget. but since i'm transitioning from job to carrer field (there is a difference) i have no idea what my financial status will be in a year

It is possible to get to 200 WHP with those things and a RMW dyno tune, if you have an already-strong-from-the-factory MINI. My car was a more powerful than average car, and a cat-back exhaust, intake, and 15% pulley, Jan from RMW wrung out another 13 WHP to bring me to 201.5 WHP/187.7 lb. ft.

I got there without having to upgrade engine internals, or even injectors. Injectors would be helpful to me, especially above 6500 RPM, but I'm really happy with my street-driven car as it currently is...

Whether you call them Monday or Wednesday cars, they are the only ones that will get you over 200 without doing a lot of mods. I have a Friday afternoon car...
It has lots more than 200whp, but I also have lots less dollars than I did when I bought it.

as you'll see earlier in my posts i was planning on a tune, just forgot to say it in that post, and from what i read jan will be the only one tuning my mini and i'll just wait until i can catch him in the houston area or until i'm in that part of the country
