I see what youre saying about having tons of parts, however those kits dont yeild the type of power levels Im referring to. You cant compare that aftermarket to the SS or SRT. Sure the mini has upgrade kits, but theyre kind of pathetic.
I guess what Im trying to say is the mini cant compete when its comes to whp/wtq. This is what I have been referring to the whole time. You cant get a stroker 2.6l engine like u can in a NSRT4, or a GMPP race engine like the GMPP crate engine LSJ.
Even if the mini had a 60 mm and bigger turbo, it more than likely wouldnt come close to the power levels the SS and the SRT make because it really isnt built to make power.

It's NOT A STRAIGHT LINE CAR you cannot just boost the **** out of a car like a MINI and make tons of power. I mean. You can. There are people who have made MINI street legal cars that run 11s. They should be kicked as hard as possible in the nuts for it.
There is a limit to the kind of power you can put down on a road racing car. Which is why you see people capping out on power well below what the car is capable of. A 250whp MINI is going to own just about everything at the track. So why is it not a legitimate car with a legitimate aftermarket? It is.
