How much should I expect to spend.

Cool. Yeah that's what I was kinda expecting to hear, just was wondering from the more experienced members, it's my first time doing anything like this so the extra input is always nice. What could I expect to get out of a 318 if I were to spend 2 grand, hp/torque wise? Just a ballpark, don't need it to be really close, Just wondering. I mean I'd like to have at least 250+ hp if I'm going to a bigger engine. Converting to factory commando settings would give 235 according to chrysler.
