You add more power, you upset part of the balance.
In order to retain that balance, other parts would need to be modified in order to accommodate any change. Its easy to just say "throw another 50hp with a turbo" on it and be done with it and most people would instantly be gratified or fulfilled, but then the car will be unbalanced towards the power part of the spectrum. Of course I highly doubt anyone but the most skilled drivers would really feel the car perform differently (better/worse/etc) but that's how it is. Its the difference between having a Toyota 86 with 250hp, or having a 250hp Toyota 86.
Its why the car was designed as 200hp low HP sports car to begin with. That was the criteria set out.
If they wanted to do they'd could have set the targets higher. Might be the same method used to design the Supra/Z4. It was stated they set the targets at the beginning (engines, chassis, components) then BMW and Toyota split ways after that was set and tuned the car their own way.

tired of hearing this balance thing.
Please tell me what makes a 250HP in this vehicle unbalanced.
Maybe if you had 700hp turbo +supercharger up front, oil cooler, trans cooler, cooler cooler?, gutted rear, nose heavy, extra wide 18x10s, sure....but 250 aint that much.
