I think initial upfront cost may be accurate but extensive modification I'm not so sure. You have a 64-bit ECU which can handle Cobb modifications (which supposedly is more accurate than a Motec ecu) for about 800 and the ability to further fine tune the engine with forced induction plus variable intake lengths would yeild a flater torque curve I figure. Starting with increased compression ratio's I don't think it too far fetched to be able to take it to the ragged edge to see a large HP number, however that ragged edge may be lower than the 13B's previous to this if we are to believe Kevin on the subject.

I'm one of those who doesn't believe it's worth it...

I commend you for tackling such a project.
The pics so far look really good.
I'd like to see the results when everything is finished.

Good luck on the project.
