The tires have good tread in the back, but they're still the stock sized 195s. But my MR2 had 205 in the back and it didn't spin the tires at 100% throttle from a dead stop. My camry had the same engine as the MR2, but it had 195 and it didn't spin the tires.

Tires and gear ratios vary widely among cars.

No matter how strong the KA is, it'll never make more than 170HP without FI. period.

Gearing and how well the car is running compared to original come into play quite a bit there.

slowly piecing this ka-t together. so far:
t3 .50 trim
top mount mani
super stealth mode fmic
mbc came in the mail yesterday

still need:
oil lines
bov
IC piping
enthalpy tune
550cc's
z32 maf
tial wg

I cant wait to save up some more money for the rest. This thing is gonna be fun AND reliable. Shooting for 300 by the way, on the first try

oh and is a turbo timer anything i should look at? or just sit in my car and listen to her purr for an extra minute or two.

It doesn't matter how much tread the tires have, it's the compound. Bet those tires have a treadwear over 400. Being an S13 doesn't help. Skidmobile.

I'm not really sure to what extent you're generalizing the power of an NA KA, but I'll just post this here as it hasn't been around in a while...

Someone has already made over 170hp without FI. FYI

But too much work.
