just in engine work, close to 2.5k(maybe a little more), possibly less with a freak strong stock bottom end

how much does it cost to get that much hp?

Fast, reliable and cheap to mod out pick 2 of them when you're buying a dsm i have owned 6 already!

2-step setup?

Sick! Nicely Done

its not a built engine thing, its a mitsubishi thing, ive owned a 1st and second gen turbo eclipse and i know EXACALY what u r talkin about. they are really easy to work on and it dont cost much to make fast, exspecially a AWD model, but their reliability is pure crap!

Race engines arent the most reliable thing in the world.

Wouldn't be much of a race, especially with awd

i love the car but dsm just brake down to often not trying to diss no dsm owners but its the truth my friend has 550whp gsx and it brakes down all the time even with the fully build engine

um why? this talon has 531hp to the wheels vette has like 470 or something who do u think will win u would need boltons cam and tune
