You'll be happy to make 240 rwhp. Don't be stupid, and don't push it beyond 8 pounds. Where do you live? Everything here has to do with tuning. Since you're asking such a vague question I am willing to bet you have spent anywhere from 0-1.5 minutes ever talking to someone who knows how to tune your car.

well if you want to tune it and keep it safe there are several other alternatives...

you know, the typical bolt-on parts...

if you don't have big plans for the car, i think turbocharging would be a bad place to start...

something a little safer might be a supercharger, they tend to run lower levels of boost.
