It depends on your budget mate.

Heres some stuff you can do.

Stroke your 2.5 liter engine to 2.7 liter

Turbo charge it

Engine swap m30,m52,s50

You might struggle to get a "Shreck" to fit under the bonnet ! 8)

How about throttle bodies and a mappable ecu for some nice clean normally aspirated power :)

Or combine them all and make a turbocharged throttle bodied ECU'd car.

Just gotta wait for my 'head to come back from the machine shop so I can measure it up for TBs if you're interested :)
