My bad, blind assumption.

MM's "HiFlo" rally engine, for $9k, nabs 240 at the crank.

If you browse around you'll find some m20's with ITB's and massive cams putting down quite a bit NA but not too many; I've yet to see such a build put down 300, let alone 300 to the wheels. It's just not worth building out that engine because it's old, 12 valve sohc, and more funding and support went into other engines.

There are lots of turbo builds with more than 300 HP. Though that's completely different. Did this ricer mean 300 at the wheels without induction aids?

If you go FI the sky's the limit.
If you go NA a reasonable streetable limit is around 210.

Some "race prepped" m20's have put down more but nothing close to 300 to the wheels, AFAIK.

You're friend's a ricer.

Whats the most horsepower an m20 engine has put out to the rear wheels...? some ricer kid told me the most you can get it is 300
