Hello my fellow DSM addicts.
I apologize if this has already been discussed numerous times, but I want a more updated advice with the added context of my car. My dsm is currently a 97 gst, however I will be gsx swapping it over the winter. My intentions for the car is to make it more of a street class build. The main question is the engine hp. I will be picking up a rebuilt (stock internals, not forged) 4g63t to use in the gsx swap. I would like to see 400hp (to all four wheels) however I'm curious on how would be the best and safest way to hit that goal. If I do arp headstuds and headgasket, will the longevity of the engine be prolonged? Also, I'm curious if I need ecm link for my hp goals.
Thanks
