Does LPSP allow update backdate? I'd go play in DSP if cost was a concern, the car makes good power on E85 and not cutting the fenders should keep you on <275 tires. A 315/30/18 BFG is more expensive than a 275/35/17 A7.

But if competitiveness isn't a priority play with whatever tires make you happy.
Honestly I think you're light on the $10k figure on a reliable turbo build. I think UP/BP is not legal for LPSP, but I haven't paid much attention because I don't think twins can be competitive against a full prep RX8

But that's a soapbox for another day
