I was just wondering what was the most bhp you can give a cab before everything starts to twist because I don't fancy strenthing everything up?? And if anyone knows about the non cab I would like to see that to thanks

It's not all about the horse power when it comes to chassis flex, torque plays a larger part really.
I don't know what the 'max' is for E30s but I've seen a two door rocking 700+ hp at the wheels which I think was caged (which would add strength). There are also some cabs running V8s, so they can easily handle 300hp which is more than enough for the car.
I find the stock M20B25 is plenty of power in the cab just because the whole thing is so wallowy and the car is intended from the factory as a wafty cruiser not a high speed cornering machine.
