I tried to look for some numbers and upgrade paths but there are so many variables that it's hard to find answers. So I'm gonna describe my situation and hope someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Stock 2017 M2. Assuming the engine was slightly underrated it could probably put down 340ish whp (depending on the dyno).

I'm on the west coast of Canada at sea level and only have access to 94 octane which most people say is not very good.

From what I found out I could probably get to 380whp with IC, DP with high flow cat, and BM3 OTS tune. At that point I will be getting close to the HPFP and stock turbo limits. Right? Wrong?

I think I'll be happy with that for a while but if I were to take it a step further, which next step would be the most logical:

1. turbo
2. HPFP
3. custom tune to deal with local gas and air quality
4. combination of the above or something else?
