Default in the market for a 740

i am in the market for a 740 for more of a recreation car. As far as mods go, i am looking for some serious power. Before i buy one, im wondering the potential of the b230t. What kind of power can i expect and what kind of mods are there out there. I have searched and know some but i would rather here from personal experience

250 at the wheel is pretty easy. 300+ starts getting a bit pricey. The simplest, reliable serious power is a V8 swap. Here's the link to my daily driver...

and of course, if you USE that kind of power on a regular basis, be prepared to be replacing drive train components. or selling the car to pay the lawyers for all the tickets.
