1st do you have a unichip tuner near you?

1) approximately 400 rwhp

2) yes

3) see first statement. The 3.5 TP's and 3" exhaust will have you boosting at 10-12 psi. So you need a tuner with a dyno to set your boost for stock block.

the 2.5" set up will be fine for a stock motor.The 3.5" set up will make more boost and is made for built motors mostly..I made 530WHP on 100 octane with the 2.5"set up.

The 2.5" setup is more than enough for a stock block. It will flow to mid 500's. You can get the big pipes and exhaust if you like, but realistically, it won't make a difference other than sound/appearance. Your tuner will be the determining factor on what HP you will have. If you want more, just have him up the boost.

I think the comparison of gasoline overseas has been discussed. 98 oct that he is referring to would be comparable to our premium (92/93 oct).

I think 98 ron is similar to our 93 oct. With that I wish we had 98 oct.

The 3.5 and 3" exhaust will have you boost much higher with the stock tune from aps. The last car I saw that had that exhaust setup they had to turn down the boost because of it. The unichip will have to be tuned for that exhaust system right after install. I wouldn't drive the car before the tune. You can't go wrong with either exhaust system.

That right. Its the same in Europe. 98 Oct here is measured in Ron and in the States its R+M/2 so our 98 is the equivalent of your 94.
