The alternative is a Vette (RE: $$$) and Scott said no to that.

Um, I *have* an EJ25, with forged pistons, and a 20G at 22psi on race gas making 350whp. I'm already doing what you're suggesting, and it's
expensive. Blowing that motor costs between $4,000 and $10,000 to repair.
I should be able to make 350whp on an LS1 or 302 for a lot cheaper, and without pushing the motor. Keep in mind, making 350whp on an STi motor is easy... on a dyno, on a street car... but doing it all day long at the race track is a bit different. At least it's been my experience that after a few laps at those power levels, things tend to get hot and not cool down.
