I figure with the turbo and the head work I could probably safely get to around 250whp without glaring risk of engine failure, which would be fun in a sub 2500lb car. Adding a hybrid system could potentially increase system output to ~275-280whp?
Presumably you could get an even higher combined power if that was the case.
