Making close to 500whp is certainly impressive. I challenge anyone else with a body kit to prove they can make power like that. I doubt anyone else is. I'm just into the sleeper thing. I don't like body kits. They're expensive, go out of style too fast, and almost all of them are lesser quality than OEM parts.

About your sig... I'm interested in info about boosting a Tiburon, too. One of my friends just bought a brand new loaded 0-mile '04 with leather for $16k because the salesman accidentally backed into his Accord while he was on the lot. wned:

That 2.5L I've heard is an actual Hyundai motor, but I have found so many Mitsubishi parts on that car that I'm suspicious. It's hard to tell with all that cowling in the engine bay. Has anyone boosted a Tiburon 2.5L V6 successfully yet, and are the bottom ends really strong enough to handle it? I wouldn't boost the Mitsu 2.5 unless everything in the bottom end was aftermarket. It's a good looking car, though. And nobody would expect that car to be fast, either. I like the interior a lot, though.
