Expect about 10 horsepower just from leaning a stock engine. They run too rich from the factory. There's a good bit of stuff you can do too.

Everythings custom.
Which is why most of us say do the basic mods, then:
1) buy a new car
2) spend $450-550 on ebay for a wet n2o kit
3) save for a turbo setup
- custom intake
- custom intake manifold & throttlebody
- head porting & valve work (1mm oversized exhaust valves do fit)
- custom cams
- custom headers/collector or custom y-pipe
- high flow/delete cat
- high flow resonator
- high flow muffler
- piggyback to control ignition timing & somewhat fuel
- higher compression pistons (hah)
- stroked crankshaft & corisponding rods (hahaha)
- bored out cylinder sleeves & larger pistons (bawahahahahaha)
- knife edged crankshaft (ahhh hahahahahahahahahahahaha)
- lightening the engine/drivetrain components

Impossible to say. Figure... 340-400bhp N/A on a 9K, 9.5K, 10K rpm peak engine. But at extrordinary cost. You're literally talking about building a 10-20 grand engine.
Just do some basic mods, then save for a turbo, or n2o. N/A sucks. It's always expencive, and always a dead end. With FI, you can make whatever you want to, at infinately less cost, with no sacrafice on the powerband.

Just keep in mind with a turbo, it's an entire system you're working with that must be in place to run it.
Exhaust, intake, charge pipe & cooler, oil (& sometimes coolant) to feed it, management & fueling to get fuel to the engine & pull ignition timing.

Replace the vehicle with one that has a V8, V10 or V12 engine, preinstalled .
You can beef up the engine output, then what do you do with the transmission? It is the weak link in this scenario . And, it's front wheel drive, the suspension and brakes do not support the higher horsepower.
