Lol that is my build, but I have even more! No the numbers are exaggerated and a sales claim and a little deceiveable. For example the hv3 does give about 20 hp, BUT it is 20 hp in the upper rpm band where your hp drops about 20-25 already and it is just helping restore it.
With all of that you would have a more responsive car, and you would be pretty happy imo

I agree with Chibi. Coming from an NA background though, I recommend skipping the NA build altogether and go boost. You can do an engine swap for the cost of the engine if you do it yourself ($150-$750), do a top swap with all the needed parts (less then $1000), or find a good used turbo kit ($2000 or less). If I were to start all over again, I would just go turbo. You can make 400hp by keeping everything else stock, all you would need is the kit. That's a great deal, especially when you consider that that goal is impossible in NA form, and very expensive in M90 form.
But if you want just a slightly better feel/response out of your Monte and nothing else, I would just throw in a set of rockers and call it a day. But if you plan on going beyond that, then look at boost.

I am going turbo eventually, I did my build because it all helps with the turbo down the line 
Good luck with your build, however you take it!

I know I'm being picky here, but I never said 400Whp, but 400 hp (which would be around 320-350whp) 
One person in particular who I can think of with a Grand Prix that was impressive was Kuntzie. I don't know how he did it, but every step of the way with his project he made great whp, even when you consider that he did a 5 speed swap. If you can find out what all he did, you would be golden.
