Take it from someone that has had: A turbo setup with 550 whp, and LS2 swap with 430 WHP, and stock with a tune.

IMHO, for this platform, the best WHP range is somewhere between 350 whp and 400 whp. I have a friend with a 350 whp setup and the car feels nice and balanced. Anything above that, and you start getting into bigger modifications, and less reliability.

Forget about engine swapping. Just do a good quality turbo kit, supporting mods and enjoy the car at around 350WHP. You will always want more, but going for more just means more money, more headaches, more potential for blown engine.. etc..
