Only to find out your rear end is snapped and your out of $$$. As far as getting that much power you could have your heads ported and with a matched cam and dyno tuning get around the same hp numbers and probably spend under $3000. Excluding any kind of nitrous shot. Plus heads are alot easier to swap than an entire motor.
