High HP and TQ applications 4 or 5 lug?

If my car will be pushing 200+ HP will I encounter problems with the stock 4-lug set up?

How much (ballpark) would it cost to do a complete 5-lug swap on a 93 DX?

Re: (deryck324)

Almost all drag racers use 4 lug setups because of the options for drag rims and the typical difference in weight. Not to mention when most people go 5 lug, the breaks are upgraded and most do not fit under 13"s rims which seem to be the rim of choice for drag racing. I use drag racing loosely in showing that people with 500, 600, 700+whp run 4 lug.
