it would be easier..for you to just try to do a turbo 2 or 13b-rew swap to get that number..either way its prolly gonna cost you a lot more than you think to get the numbers you are looking for..300hp on a 12a..at minimum you are going to have to get a 12a p-port and a big turbo..prolly not going to be very streetable..

Nah, 300 WHP on a 12A shouldn't be hard if it's a bridgeport. High-overlap ports spool turbos quickly. GT42 on a 12A, anyone? Heck, you've already got 3mm apex seals.

Have fun tuning it with a carb, though.

No need for radical ports. Just get a streetport and a properly sized turbo. As long as you pay attention to the details and tune it right, 300 HP shouldn't be too much of an issue. Obviously it won't be "cheap", but if you (or whomever is building your car) knows what you're doing and what parts to look for, it should be prohibitively expensive either.

You can get a SP 12a with that number and not even push it.

A 12a PP Turbo (given you get everything needed for it to run that high with boost) You can get towards 800+ HP.
