evo4 dilemma what to do next (need advise)

ok here lies my dilemma, i dont own a genuine evo its simply an evo 4 converted 2 door coupe FWD, it has everything bar being 4WD, i am in a position to start spending some cash on power upgrades, my goal is somewhere between 500-600hp, i have been told the evo4 engine wont produce those sort of power figures and can be a little unreliable anywhere u from 350-450hp and can be a hell of a lot more expnsive to build compared to an evo6 where you can get those figures easier, so my question is, is that the case? and did the evo 6 engine configuration change compared to the 4? would it be a better alternative to source a 6 motor straight swap then think of power upgrades?.

Any help or advise would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Michael

Dunno about the engine, but if you put like stickers you can get like 50HP per sticker on the car. It amazing! Email me for details.

500-600whp in a fwd car seems like alot. i think you will just be spinning your wheels all day long. 350-400 sounds like a better figure in terms of managing traction.
