3.2 and 3.7 m112 engines have a forged crank and rods. I have heard the factory forged lower end is good for around 90 HP per cylinder. But the coated pistons will have to go anyway.
I don't think Turbos have had much success here with the Crossfire. It's cheaper to just buy an SRT. As a result there is likely a predisposition against that route.
That aside,,,,,
Since you are a stick shifter, the Turbo is attractive. I see where you want to go here. If the project isn't too challenging then go for it.
