They're highly strung, high revving, 12.5:1 comp on rod bearings that are dying to spin.
Doesn't exactly stop me from hitting the track but I don't know why the wife puts up with me or the car.
If I had to do it again I would either get a used 15+ for cheap now ($12k) and leave it NA and spend minimally for e85/headers/tune/tires, swap in a 2J / LS or get a Cayman S.

Glad I’m not the only one! If you want boost buy a closet full of used FA20’s. These engines are disposable with power. Can’t wait to have a setup that makes great power on 91 without boost!!
