Ok.. to the emerging subject of Vinny's 200hp goal.

10.5:1 CR is required, if not higher. ECU tune. Not JWT if it were me - it'd be Enthalpy's ecu. I know how much more power it made on my KA-T over the JWT.
Then you'll need an intake, header, exhaust, cams, cam gears to dial them in for the 3-5hp it'd be worth. Ignition system so you can open up the plug gap and get the most of your fuel. Will it make 200whp? I don't know. It'd be close.. 200 +/- 5hp I'd guess. There's alot of headwork you can do, a light port and polish, valve job, oversized valves. If you got dual springs and retainers, and forged rods, you could rev to 8k provided the cams made power up there (the JWT cams I took to 7500 all the time.) Now you will be over 200whp. And, you could still do up some form of shorty intake manifold or ITBs, and make a bit more. But do I see it making even 225whp? No. And how much got spent? Just ballparking - $1000 for I/H/E. $500 for Enthalpy ECU. $400 on ignition box, wires and plugs. $700 on cams and cam gears, $350 on valves, $350 on springs and retainers. $500 on PNP and valvejob. $400 on pistons, $500 on rods, $300 for seals, gaskets and bearings to replace during the rebuild.
Total: $5000 ish. Make 225whp? Again, I really doubt it.
