Max WHP for non venom or turbo MCS?

I'm curious as to what is possible with only bolt ons. I have several and a few more coming. I'm out of tricks to add to the car. Eric at Helix told me on his dyno he has not seen any/many? over 200 WHP cars with only bolt ons. Anyone care to post......

Just for grins....what is your next mod and what benefit do you hope to achieve?

If I recall I read here on NAM that the "bolt on" limit is ~220 to 230 whp.

Looks like you will have to research the RMS/Autorotor/twin screw supercharger route to gain more power.

My next mod(s) will be professional driving lessons and UniChip custom tuning. I'm extremely happy with my latest dyno results (from bolt ons) and I feel I need to take my driving skills to the next level. BMWCCA is hosting a HPDE @ VIR in July and later in September/October.
