Yup ThatGuy hit it right on the head - and as far as power figures, JohnGriff has the right idea, except I KNOW it can't be done in a shop for even $6k. Assuming you bought a shop's SR swap for $3k (a low average, only R&D Factory is cheaper), GT2871 .86 used for $600, Megan exh mani/elbow/dp $300, exhaust for $200, use your old intake, FMIC $200, High Pres FP $100, Radiator $200, and free fans, you're at $4600 without tuning - and that's with rock bottom pricing. If you're not doin it yourself, it's not gonna happen.
To be honest, all those same parts would be necessary for a 300whp build, except you could run a S14/S15 T28 instead, and possibly save a couple bucks, and tuning could be done much easier. Still not even a sure thing for $6k. And after suspension and paint, yes, you will have spent over $10k just like the rest of us. And you will love your 240 more than your right testicle, just like the rest of us.
Sell the heavy ass 3000GT - if you need help getting convinced, go find someone with a 300hp 240 and beg em for a ride.
