Spectre420 is an unknown quantity at this point
K sorry unibody damage, unibody frame damage, frame damage. You know what I meant!
As far as 205-230hp, I honestly don't think it takes 5k of spending. Well, considering half my upgrades are also repairs that may make a diffrence. Either way, I think these upgrades should at least put me over 200chp:
Cold air intake routed to bumper air inlet
larger TB
New intake manifold (matched to exhaust manifold powerband)
11.1 : 1 compression
20 to 40 overbore
248/248 cams
port and polish of heads for N/A POWAH!!!!
lightweight flywheel
clutch fan->electric fan w/ quest alternator
PS/AC/Emissions delete
lightweight pulleys
crank scraper/windage tray
4-2-1 header
3 inch test pipe with electric cutout
Proper tune/timing

Would that not be good for about 225hp?

All in all, the completed car, assuming I dont include non-mechanical stuff like audio and comfort, and assuming I dont run into "oh shit i forgot this/need this" spending, should cost just about 5.5k if my math is right. 6k if I forgot something.
That is suspension, shell, 5speed swap, LSD, and engine.

Correct me if I am wrong as I am new to working on 240s.
If you could also explain why your right/I am wrong or cite a source that would be great!
