Default 01 GT Vert - Break 300HP?

What modifications would be necessary to break a 300HP mark at the crank? Not power-adders like nitrous, blowers, or turbos. Is this attainable and reasonable to do? Should I just spend/save my money for a SC? Thanks

Save your money and buy a SC. From the list above (from Jbauer) your looking as spending at least $2,000 for all that and that is if you do the work yourself.
