Give me an unlimited budget and I'll find a way to make a twin charged track setup work!

I just really don't want to deal with the complexity and heat management of a turbo setup, especially the front mounts. It seems like it's just one headache after another if you track the car hard because of all the supplemental cooling needed, and then you get into the inevitable battle with the stock internals when rod fatigue rears its ugly head after dealing with that torque surge so many times.

280-300whp reliably with E85 and stock fueling is honestly all I'd ever want from this car. I like to think I have a reasonable amount of willpower when it comes to FI horsepower, which is a slippery slope for many owners.
