Scooby upgrades

How expensive is it to tweek a Scoob up to, say around 400bhp these days?
And will it still be the reliabe motor it is today?

Cheers in advance

Mucho appreciated chaps. Although an Evo 7 or possibly 8 is now in the equation. Went to xxxxx Subaru today and test drove a WRX STi, which was very nice.
Then went straight to Mitsubishi for a frantic test drive in an Evo8 FQ300. WOW!!
BOTH nice cars, but the guy at Subaru did slag off the Evo and throw in some BS for good measure though. Mitsubishi DID NOT. For me, that says many things....

Proof was in the pudding.

snag is... wind the window down and it's obvious which car is better (for me 50% of the car is the sound... if it sounds like a mit-sew-bishi machine then i'd be disappointed) (didja hear both cars on top gear last week? every time the subaru drove off i couldn't help going mmmmmmmm )

Granted, the sound is important, as my Griff was a 4.3(argueably the best sounding TVR ) and it means alot. The Scoob DOES have a nicer exhaust note, but for me these cars are more about turbo-kick acceration and sticking to the road via trick technology. And for this reason the Evo just feels more like a rally car than the Scoob. But, the STi does have something special about it that can't be explained.
Very tough decision
