Default What BHP shud i be aiming for? how about 130bhp at wheels?

hi i have a d16z6 mini-me conversion...

d16z6 on d16a6 bottom end.


OBX 4-2-1 stainless manifold. VAFC controller. Advance tuning induction. DECAT. Full custum stainless. Compression ratio increased due to hybrid conversion to 14bars (a little too high!).

Any ideas on what kind of BHP i should be pushing... I have been told that my quoted 130BHP at at wheels is way too high... do you agree?

cheers
christian

"Bhp" and "at the wheels" are contradictory. BHP is what the engine actually produces, whp is what you make at the wheels. Remember, there is a power loss through the drivetrain.

Can't answer your question, but at least I added some information.
