You know how hard to get more hp out from that engine and keep it NA? Cost + Effort =/= Gain of HP. I'm pretty sure S2k owner can tell, but that's why you see a lot of ppl go w bolt on turbo or SC on S2k you get 300hp or more while put so much $ and not even breaking 300hp NA.

I thought as much. This is why I've been considering a Rotrex build. I'm not looking for stupid amounts of horsepower, just enough to go with enough weight reduction to get a power to weight ratio close to my father-in-law's 2009 M5. With my Celica I had worked it out to be around 350hp as the goal, so it'll ultimately depend on the final specs of the car when we finally get thrown that bone.
