Glad it helped before I deleted it, I realized that I kind of went off and was ranting and not from experience, there's enough internet benchracing out there.
I still think you should take the time and go on a few test drives of alternative cars, it'd be much easier to get a Corvette to do what you want than an 86. And at the very least help you gain some perspective on what actually makes you happiest.

I haven't seen an 86 blow up on a conservative FI kit, namely the CARB legal ones. FA20 seems to take to <10 psi like a fish to water on stock internals and ~240 whp (est ~300 crank hp) in a 2,800 lb car is no slouch.
