I'm probably not doing cams. And I'm definitely not lowering the compression so I can run more boost. And I won't be running alcohol or water injection. I won't use nitrous. I won't be grinding custom ring gears so I can give up useless top end for stump pulling grunt and tire shredding acceleration. I promise not to bore it out to 400 cubic inches which is possible. And I'm not going to keep barrels of race gas stashed around so I can go after a more ambitious tune or SC pulley.

Those are the every last 50 horsepower I'm not chasing. I still have to drive it to work.
