Just bolt-ons will not even get you close to 250HP you will need some engine work. Thats some seriuos horsepower for the R53, you can do it but take some serious cash, so if you are serious about it you should contact Revolution Motor Works.

250hp at the engine....i didnt think it would be that hard...might be wrong...
but yeah not that fuss, im coming from a EVO 8 MR just got sick of the rough ride, so power isnt everything for me right now.

Just a number ill chase thru out my drive in a mini...
