Parasitic loss through the belts vs gain = low
Mechanical failure to excessive parts = high
In the long run a simple bolt on fairly cheap to produce part is what you want, if you cant do this for under $500 then there are better alternatives for picking up 10hp, cam swap and programmable ignition would be a viable alternative

Or spend your time and money dropping in a 1.8T VW/Audi lump in and get an easy 225++bhp

The engine swap is going to end up costing around $2000. I have almost everything I need to finish just waiting on the machine shop.
