For you to do some reading....or pay someone else to do it for you. Start with the Prelude FAQs and the forced induction forum.

people daily drive 400-500whp, 300 is cake.


gas mileage depends on the tune and injector sizing.

Just because you can daily drive it, doesnt mean its practical.... Yeah dude, 150 shot of NOS should do the trick.

Im just saying....... I'd rather daily drive my stock gs-r..... it probably gets shitty milage, and probably spins the tires very very easily.

if you get it tuned properly, you wont get horrible gas mileage. and spinning tires is part of getting more power and pushing your pedal to the floor.

Ya. Def must have for the weight reduction. Ive heard as well that if you get high enough quality altezzas they have a jet booster probability of 26% after your NOS tank spools. That alone will get you to 300whp. Not to mention if you get the stage 3 wing...

^lol.

For 300hp, wouldn't one want to build the motor to better withstand the power?

And about spinning the tires easily at 300hp, it happens w/ fwd. You'd learn to be more conservative w/ the gas pedal while driving regularly.
