The setup of some European-designed hybrid trucks and buses is somewhat like an improved IMA. Look for that ZF hybrid "modular" motor for trucks and buses and you'll know what I mean.

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.
