No wouldn't it really suck if you got it back state side and something was wrong so you had to ship it back.
What are your currant 0-60 times? After 20 years a lot of these cars are not running factory numbers anymore, first get their, then modify.

That sounds about right. I regularly get shipments out of Holland in the 400-500lb. range that average about $900 door to door including insurance, customs and phytosanitary certificates.

i would really like to get one of those electronic power meters for engine horsepower, torque, 0-60, g forces, etc.. but im hesitant to throw $100 at a thing that allegedly does all that by sticking to your windshield...

That's the only way you can get a good reading other than going to the dragstrip or putting your car on a dyno. Give it a good weight rating, and you will get good results everytime. Nothing magic about it, just an accelerometer and a crystal oscillator that calculates derivatives to give you speed and time to distance. With a weight you can get a good estimate of power to the ground. I've used one for years.

In addition.....if you are gonna spend all that cash....
Folks, this gentleman understands the intricate relationships within the IP !!!
If you intend to spend a small fortune in having your IP modified, you should also consider the other relationships within the engine....more fuel will need more air.....not just a simple increase in boost pressure.....valve overlap would be one area to look into.....of course it would involve a different cam grind (profile)......and an increase in valve size would also be helpful.....then there is the inter-cooler project as others have mentioned....don't forget that more air in, and more fuel burned, will require an improvement in your exhaust area....I will not bother to mention all of the other components that will need to be at minimum "factory spec" (in good mechanical condition).....so, be careful......and have some extra cash available for unforeseen problems.......
