Also a quick google search tells me that in a 2.5RS with an aggressive cam you can see an increase of around 50whp in a bolt on car. Throw in some heads with that and your looking at around 80whp.

Your also not even considering tuning the motor.
A 4 banger with room to rev stock has more potential. VVT makes a bigger difference since they are already low on torque and gearing makes a big difference in actual performance.

I would go with what the pros are saying on N/A vs FI, anything past boltons and FI makes far more sense per dollar.
