Just wondering something....How much HP can i safely get out of the stock S5 engine before i have to worry about major breakage. Im not looking for anything wild but would like to bump it up to about 250-300 if its possable to do. I know the engine starts at 200 Hp from the factory so one would assume it should be safe to at least get 50 more hp out of it with out it going boom right?

if you keep it in the 300-350 range it'll be fine. its also usably fun on the street like that.
