Dunno how much that is going to take, but it could very well need a new block. Oh and E85 might be able to hit 250hp at 8000rpm...
i was going to say with that much work you might as well just buy a 911 but then i started thinking about how even if you wring out this scion past the point of reliability it will probably be no more costly than a porsche to own
