All it needs is meth injection and it will make well over 400 WHP. Meth allows for more timing (and of course, power) in the upper RPM range and as a consequence, the torque curve will flatten for a longer duration on the x-axis of the dyno plot.

This is a nice comparison. I changed my boost profile to be linear to attempt to create a powerband similar to a N/A motor for track days. I'll be getting the real thing (M3) soon
