Mostly ideas taken from the Hot Rod realm. Who knows if I'll ever manage to get to that point though. Suspension, chassis reinforcement, electronics, and engine will be enough to keep me busy for quite a while.

That's a no brainer....
FWIW a stock FD will make about 210-215 on a dynojet. I've done 196 on an S5 for a the shops ITS car and over 220 with a halfie and ITB's....
I think 350 plus would be a good time. You can always turn the boost down but who the hell wants to do that?
