what would need to be done to a 97 ford probe for 300 to 600 hp.
is it possible?
how much too.

A LOT, and multiply that LOT by 10 and that'll be how much it'll cost.  But if you got the mula, go ahead and do it.  You'll probably not have your motor for a good while because you'll need to take the head to a machine shop and have them do a crap load of work to it.

well, i think 300Hp out of a 4 cilinder 2.0 engine isn't out of the question, but you have to modify the engine (shorten the piston run amongst other things) in addition to installing some kind of forced induction system AND virtually strip the car to the bone. Of course you also gotta think of the abuse the engine is gonna take, it might last you a year and a half, maybe less. Anything closer to 600Hp i would guess you would have to get a bigger engine and some form of alcohol fuel system, of course then the car would only be good for 1/4 mile races. And either way you also have to modify the transmission, the clutch, the braking system, emissions, suspension, probably would need to add a roll cage and a whole bunch of other stuff i can't even think of, if you ever do embark on this quest, than i hope you don't have kids because there's not gonna be much left for the collage fund.....

se or gt? anything is possible if you have the $$$

se 2.0 auto.  

lol
thank you all for your help.
will let u all know what happends to it.

First you gonna want to change that auto to a manual

ok thanks for the tip, saw a jap car with 1400 hp.  not much smaller then the probe. but if its going to cost me that much forget it. going to get rid of her in 22 or 23 months. and get a srt4 neon or sebring.
