: 158....damn, I was hoping for higher (but aren't I always).So is it possible to surpass the i's horsepower without upgrading pistons? I might do little crap like a Hot Spark ignition and stuff too...but I'd like to shy away from the HUGE mods (turbo, supercharge...). Any more ideas?You had your pistons changed on your e right? Is that what got you so much HP?As always, thanks for the great infoRichard

Yes I believe it is possible to surpass the i's HP without changing pistons. Ignition systems do very little on our cars since the stock ignition is already good. I didn't change my pistons because '88 Super ETA engines came with 'i' domed pistons, there was no need to change over, but I was planning to anyway for even more HP.
