I think that 750$ for 8 whp is really good on this car. Apart from a E85 flexfuel tune (which a lot of people don't have access to), I don't think there is anything that you can do that will get you that 8hp with your 750$.
I see more like 15hp improvement across quite a wide range on 91 octane (well, assuming OFT was on Cali 91, and it may have been on something better...) for that extra $750. And to be fair, we probably can only call it 'up to'... Put another way, it's a somewhat fuzzy ~10% better for $750.

Of course, I'm looking at improvement over baseline, not absolute peak power on two totally different cars.

Also, e85 is off the table for other reasons than availability for things like an STX build. It's a pity, but word is this car is WHY it's no longer legal...

I think the answer to the OP's question remains "No" under all circumstances, but hey.
