The GT block can handle more than 400 hp but you're gonna have to get forged internals. So if you want to build the engine you're pretty much gonna have to make the internals a lot stronger. And Dominasian you're right our lower end power is lacking. This is due to the fact that modular engines get their power in the midrange if I'm correct which is why the higher gear ratio is such a significant upgrade.

Here comes a question, will i see faster 0-60 40-100 times with a different gear ratio dispite the fact that i am still on the same HP level ?

Yeah you will shave a few tenths of a second just from replacing our stock gears with no other mods. This will increase further as you add more mods to your car compared to sticking with the stock gearing. Here's an article on how they work http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles...s/viewall.html
