Bolt-on, drop-in engine swap vs. pull your engine, completely disassemble it, swap pistons, reassemble everything. Yes, it costs more cash to get the parts, but for someone that isn't trained or skilled in engine building this is a weekend project to get an extra 30 hp with stock reliability.

If the only reason to do any mod it be better than some other car, then why bother modding any car. We do it for the love of it. My Yaris was a blast to drive, and it was unique, and mine.

Buying some car that any can buy, isn't any fun for me.
