What I infer from the original post is he is questioning can he get 175 or more horsepower from a Slant to equal or outdo a STOCK 360. I agree with the guys who say $ for $ you get more power from a 360. BUT...he doesn't have a 360. ALSO...comparing $/HP gain ratio would only be effecive if all he planned on doing was dyno bench-testing. He would need to add the total cost of a swap.
In short, I believe a relatively low-boost turbo Slant (see Pishta's) would meet his requirements at the lowest cost.
