You could likely get away with a few more on E85 and meth injection do to it's cooling effects. But you would never catch me turboing an engine with 12.5:1 compression with no intercooler. Hell I wouldn't turbo ANY engine without an intercooler.
Honestly, I've had high hp streetcars and used to track sportbikes. Bonkers amount of HP gets really old quickly. Because you can never use it unless you're one of those bozo's that's get on the highway at night for "roll races."
I think the stock 22+ engines are just fine on the street with the extra torque and midrange. But the extra HP/TQ Delicious made with a header and E85 would be really tasty. IIRC, they bumped it all the up to a 245whp peak. That's really close to the 10:1 weight:HP ratio.
