That being said, I'd like to hear my best option for upgrading the motor. I'm open to a complete engine swap if that is the best option. I'd like a solid 200hp/180lbs tq. This car has a factory auto trans too so please suggest any upgrades that may need as well. I need to keep the auto cause rowing a stick in traffic is a PITA. I drive 45 miles each way to work daily.

Let me hear your recommendations and what shops can handle the swap/mods. Estimate cost too if possible.

Thanks,

Ryan
