yea to properly "build" a b18 engine your probably talking around 20,000 dollars maybe moreYou got a motor/trans/ECU/shift linkage/axles/mounts yet? If not....$2500 wont go far in terms of any performance mod's.
If you already have the swap, to "build" the LS motor (like you stated), you would not get even close to your goals. In order to get there after the build would be nitrous or turbo but you wouldn't have much cash left from your $2500 budget.
Once again, if you have the swap, you can put together a new and used turbo system on an LS and get your goals....although the "reliability" of it would be in question...especially if you have a heavy foot.
I say you raise your budget if you have the high horsepower goals and want reliability.
