This thread is over a year old, but reading the article again made me think of something.
He says he's not running a turbo b/c of added underhood heat... but what about a STS-type turbo system? (Remote mount).
That removes the necessity for a muffler (unless you really want it whisper quiet), removes the necessity for an intercooler, since the piping is so distant from the engine, and will also relocate some of the weight bias caused by the heavier engine to help keep that car as close to 50/50 as it can be, plus the added benefit of the turbo itself... more power and better economy. (Not that more power is really necessary...)
Just a thought... feel free to shoot it down with a .50 cal.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
