I don't plan to have more than 250bhp. I will track the car (lightly, no racing tires and suspension), so the config must be reliable under beating. What is the best way to achieve this goal?

Personally I’d stop messing around and go full aluminium V8 swap with sequential gearbox.

Lol. I wish...

Do a header and tune first. I was surprised at how good my car felt with the torque dip ironed out and just a few extra ponies. Certainly NOT 250hp at the point, but it was way more driveable.
(The FF was great too although ethanol isn’t too easy to come by here)
