We regularly take 1.8l Miata engines and put out 240 hp (measured at the
wheels) without even having to remove the valve cover. They'll run like
this for years. Our 2.0l race car is somewhere north of 300 hp and had 340
ft/lbs of torque. Once the turbo is strapped on, the big increases come
from working with the engine management programming.
However, the engines don't run so well on Coleman camp fuel.
