I'd say he has at least double your 100 hp figure. He has 105K miles on the car and hasn't broken anything yet. I've got about 150 over stock and nothing major broken yet (just had to replace the valve cover gaskets at 60k).
Glad someone offered a counter point.
An additional 100hp/trq can break things .... true, but at stock the same components can break.

I've been running just over 300+rwhp for several years - nothing broke yet.

JBeryleC - I'd suggestt riding in a superrcharged car (similar type) and make your call on if it's worth it.

I'd think it is.
