As Steeles pointed out, and as I'm sure you know, crank HP and RWHP are very different. 200HP at the crank is easy - I had I/H/E, pulley, S13 cams, and JWT ECU and made 160rwhp - Assume 15% loss and you get 185 crank HP(or even 20% loss and that's 192 crank)- That extra 15 would be easy to find, albeit expensive.
So congrats, you did well...most people don't go the distance.
But 200rwhp is not acheivable with SERIOUS work.
And that was my 'mark' when building my car - I was making 160rwhp, running low 15s at 92mph in the quarter, and doing well on the track (holding my own against the FDs and Supras on a short road course), but I could have been competitive with the extra 40rwhp (or 500 less lbs, either way).
Anyway, what's the spec on the chassis you're running
TBreu007...specifically the weight.
