Its about as illegal as putting on a CAI. Its going to cost you though, Its not really worth it if you plan on keeping it naturally aspirated, now if you want a good turbo setup later on, this will be a solid foundation(assuming you do it right with good rods, pistons, sleeves). If you dont want to put the engine together yourself i suggest having it sent somewhere like this place http://www.exospeed.com/engine/Braceblocks.htm where they'll do all the work and you just put the engine back in the car and reconnect all the sensors and crap.

Yes it'll increase low, mid, and top end.
