my target hp is 180-200hp. so i figured there was another 35 hp left in the n/a motor, but extracting it could get expensive, especially when cams become involved. Then there was the sr swap, but i don't really plan on spending more on the engine than the whole car. The engines still pretty fresh (new one w/ 70k) so a turbo kit might work well, but  finding a sohc manifold, and w/ an intercooler it costs more than a figgin sr. I have heard a little bit about the ca18det swap, but so far no one has said much about whats involved, i have however seen these engines for about 1600 and puts out 180+ hp. Any one done this?
