NASP?? with 'off the shelf' mods?? probably 200 - 220bhp.

Thing is........there is never a definitive answer........how deep are your pockets and how extreme do you want to go?

Again........if you wanted to tune the KV6 really hard you would rebuild the engine with modded internals......lighten them, balance them......you'd replace pistons and conrods as well I would imagine all with strengthened parts.....you may even overbore the engine a little I guess.

Cylinder heads you may port and polish, gasflow them, fit bigger valves, fit bigger camshafts which may make the idle lumpy but give bigger gains when above a certain rev range.....

all that combined with some of the off the shelf products or even throttle bodies and the socks over the trumpets.

The world is your oyster really.
