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.

Bonkers hp does get old quickly… gets old quickly when it attacks your wallet randomly.
I too agree about intercooler especially with that compression ratio.
I feel the stock power level/gearing is perfectly matched…. Cost per dollar n/a isn’t worth modding for hp… the turbo route will cost 1/3+ the total cost of vehicle but I will sure watch others spend their money and watch videos on it.
