347 stroker crank is a good as guaranteed 15% more power and the torque to go with it and what the hell why tell the insurance company not quite like a supercharger or turbo bit hard to hide. AUIII injectors will handle it so just a Unichip and some extractors and you are there 250Kw

Getting to 250rwkw in N/A form I would think you'd need
stroker (347)head work maybe even some good aftermarket heads
Definately a cam change
Inlet manifold

Or bolt up a supercharger and your there with no hassles at all.
Grunter made 270ishrwkw running 10psi though a stock 200spec motor with exhaust and extractors.

Which ever way you go bring your wallet cause its not going to be cheap
