You could go a reliable 300rwkw if the tune is right. What box have you got? That's the next weakest link. Go have a chat to Joe CMS and see what he reckons.

Theres a few wreckers around Sydney that have them. There's a ba turbo motor on gumtree now for $2300 but you're just going to be back at square one again. At least you have the good box.
