To reach your goal you will need, a built motor, tranny, EM with a good tune, and axles.
Most put a 2.5 hybrid motor in the bugeyes, Andrewtech can build the tranny, a Hydra or maybe a Utec for EM, and the Driveshaft shop for axles.
My buddy's 02 is making 425whp, he has over 25K in the build. The car is great for the drag strip but not much fun on the street.
I think a 300whp car for DD is going to be a more realistic goal, and cheaper. This can be done on the 2.0, and if you can drive, the stock tranny.
Mine is 285 whp.
