A blower, silly. You'll get all that and much more.

$2000 blower kit. Its a sticky. It can be done n/a but it will be more expensive.

You might want to build the engine up a bit though, before you go with a blower. Mainly the internals. A blower on a stock 2V is suicide if you aren't real careful.

Youre fine as long as you stay right around 380-400rwhp and dont exceed that and try to push your car past that.

Are internals are good for around 420rwhp. I have been blown for 3 and a half years on stock internals, and havent had a single issue. With more HP then the OP stated, might I add. If its tune by a respectable tuner your golden.

A simple non intercooled vortech would be best. You could get close to 300 rwhp with a good set of cams and full bolt ons too.

Well, I wasn't saying the super charger itself would kill the engine, but over 450rwhp and it's a ticking time bomb, but the OP doesn't want that number anyway. It just becomes easy to go over that number with a blower.
