Would bolt-ons and a chip do the trick?

Not at all. Bolt-ons and a tune only realistically renders around 200 hp at the wheels, if you're lucky. If I am to keep my car I'm going to be doing an engine swap. What engine, well that is the real question.

More importantly, I want to buy another FB and have it turn into a huge money pit in re-engineering it in the way that only Brian (TTT) can do, and (hopefully) me.
