If you dont believe a turbo 4 is enough then just look at the Cobalt SS/TC. It has 260 hp stock and its from 08. If Nissan goes that route then it will be closer to 300 im sure. I used to have one I picked up over 50hp with a downpipe and tune. It was making like 300/320 with the stock turbo. There are several people making 350+ on stock turbo. A factory turbo car has tons of potential. Imagine getting a big turbo kit for 2-3k and make 450+ hp. Many people with Cobalts are there and beyond. ZZP has one making 650+ on the stock block.
The NA V6 is almost at its limits. DI will pick up 20hp on a good day but then that is going to cause issues getting bigger injectors at least for awhile.
To keep costs down and make more power its either a small displacement V8 or a turbo 4.
Im rooting for V8 but I like to dream lol.
