a mantzal box wont get it up to 160 on its own
couple that with head work, exhaust manifold and full system, and prehaps cams and ur shifting big time
but for all that money, u may as well get a 2.0 conversion

400-500 but its the best thing u can get, throttle bodies are like 2 grand, super charger would be more than that.
