think i can make 190whp?

ok so the goal is to make 190whp. however, the rules are the only engine internals i can change are the cams. all other mods have to be bolt-ons and ecu tuning and such. think its possible? vote!

p.s. this is a 95 SE model, stock KA engine, its an autox car

If you follow the modifications I've done to make 162whp. Then adding cams and 98octane, 190whp should be no problems. Thats my goal in 6 months from now using the PDM cams.
You can possibly do it with brian crower stage 2's, there cheaper than the JWT cams, and PDM's...

Every market is crashing right now. I just happen to have a stable job, so moneys not a problem, but my time right now is. I haven't worked on, or driven my 240 in 2 months. I travel to different cities and am rarely home on weekends.....

That will all change as I am getting paid vacation coming up pretty soon.

ok, so now a new twist, i just learned that if i want to stay in the same class i am in now (sts) i have to stick with stock cams (any year), so i CAN however put the 240/248 cams in my '95 SE. so.... think i can still make 190whp with 240/248 cams or am i just dreaming now ?

Not to mention I have a new set up that I haven't dyno'ed yet.... 95OBD manifold extruded and honed, advanced timing, and a 3" exhaust. Crossing my fingers for 170WHP.

ka is not going to be a high output motor with a low budget and staying n/a... compared to something like a honda motor. I don't think your goals are very feasible.
