I have also wondered this as the engine itself looks pretty much the same - just not sure on its insides

I'd perosnally get a ecotec, 20XEV engine, run a VXR turbo (£450 new) and go from there, much stronger block and much cheaper too. then run LET management on it

oh just thought it's cheaper to add 100BHP nitrous on a progressive controller and you'll have better economey with that set up. and it's lighter less to go wrong etc...
