300-350whp from a b series. any more than that and you start getting traction problems. hell even with those numbers traction is going to be a premium.

among other factors. with 300-350whp in an eg hatch you have an 11-12 second car.

if you want to drop $8k+ into a k swap, then by all means go right ahead.

even if you do the work yourself, it's still $5-6k+ for a k swap once you get everything needed.
