You're completely right, and that's why I hate to throw even one more argument out there :P
It's not that I need more than 350whp, it's that the power to price ratio seems to be so much higher than that of other engines. I don't think that I would be putting $20k into an sr swap. While I don't have any experience in swapping engines, I am fully confident that it could be done for less than $10k, if not less than $6k (since the engine and trans is only $2500).
You're 100% correct that 350whp on a car that, while I don't daily it I do drive it quite a bit, would be more than enough. However, am I willing to put $6k into a kit that will get it there only to find out that I will probably need a built motor to go any higher should I desire to in the future? I really don't know. I suppose there is always the option of putting my own "kit" together piece by piece, that would surely be much cheaper.

Our engines are only two years old, give it time. How many 240 guys are still doing SR20DET swaps versus V8s or?
Any engine swap that requires fabrication is probably going to cost $20-25k.
