How dependable would 300hp be? And what would the best way to get it be?

VERY dependable.

- PDR 190 injectors,
- HX35 hybrid turbocharger or similar
- 3200 IP governor spring.
- Modded fuel pin.
- BHAF
- Fix the OEM kink in the factory exhaust going over the rear axle.
- Typical IP tweaks.
- IP timing at about 1.85mm or there abouts.

- A better than stock torque converter will put more power to the ground while picking up a bit better MPG.

That should give you a solid 300.
