300 W.H.P. is no problem.

actually you COULD get about 450-500 at the engine before you have to worry about the stock crank.

Anything is possible it just takes $$. Put some rods, pistons, turbo and all the other things that go with it in there 25psi of boost and you might make it. Figure it would cost you $10-$15k.
