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?

You will find that many of the "they can just do XXX" crowd do not seem to understand that car companies have to meet multiple emissions and safety requirements, they actually have to pay to develop, that line changes or interruptions cost millions, one change to the engine can mean changes all through the vehicle and that a few people that want XXX just can't be catered to for economic reasons! They seem to think car companies are not for profit charities that exist solely to make what they want and screw everybody else!
