What makes you think there's 50HP just lying around to add in? The most impressive NA gains around here have been about 40HP, and that's removing the cat from the header and running E85, neither of which are options for retail sale. Lower compression internals and a small turbo would get you there but that will bump sticker way more than $3k. What other option is there, research, dev and implementation of an FA23 or FA25 engine?
