I don't have the technical knowledge to say yes or no to that question. From what little I do know, I'd say it's a far reach. I've never heard of a 4th Gen Si engine making those types of numbers. If you got the never ending wallet though, then that helps quite a bit. I wasn't being sarcastic in my previous post, that was truly sincere. It's an unusual goal and if it's what your after then I say rock in.

High 100s, but for the money it will probably take you could drop a b16 in there and already be at that range.

EDIT: High is spelled H-I-G-H not H-I. Damn I'm stupid.

Nah, you can hit mid 200s without too much trouble on boost.

That swap is kind of a biznatch though, since the mounts are different. A DOHC ZC is easier and more powerful out of the box (i.e. direct bolt in).

DOHC ZC or B16A1. both are direct drop ins that require a little work but both are well worth it.
