400is a big number there guy. I'm sure if you have alot of money its possible. There is always an ls1 swap.

To put out 400hp reliably you should build the bottom end to handle 600hp. Figure about $15,000 to $30,000 with a built block, tricked out head, supercharger or turbocharger, injectors, an AEM EMS, exhaust, etc. etc. Do you still want to do it?

Speed, reliability, and price. Choose two, up to 400whp and one after that…

You can get to 400whp tonight if you want, we'll just have to take some big risks! (NOS and lots of it!) I say start small and get to 350. Get a blower and remember that you can always sell it later

Lots of time, money and patience.

I'll let you know if and when I get there...

You can do it easy with a 2005 Corvette. That would probably cost a lot less than an S2000 and all the work you would have to do to get it there. And you could get the Vette pretty soon too.

The '05 Corvette also looks much better than the C3-C5 IMO.

If you want 300 HP, that's not too difficult to achieve on the F20C, but you'll still be looking at $5-10k for a nice build and tuning.
