I'm on E85 with a bar of boost on stock internals. If I had a built FA20 engine or the FA24 stock then 400-450whp would likely be easily achievable and reliable. That is a very respectable amount of power for 2800lbs.
The cost of rebuilding the engine and adding FI plus E85 is not worth it for me. I would just buy Supra 3.0 for $51K.
