That's because the 2.0 S2000 revved to 9000rpm, peak power at 8300. GT86 only revs to 7400rpm, peak at 7000.

Power potential is *directly* related to how high you can rev.

Scale s2000 power down by the reduced rev capacity of the 86, and you get 200hp stock vs. the S2000's 240hp.

I.e., there's *still* not a ton of potential for the stock engine for making much more power for reasonable/practical effort and $$$. You'd have to match the mods required to get 270hp out of the S2000 in order to get 225hp out of the 86.
