Nowhere on that list was "Lower your compression to 9:1, boost to 18 PSI and add a hundred shot." Thats how I plan on wasting money on my car.

You're not running that kind of boost on (almost) any stock car without better internals... I was kind of kidding anyway though. That was the extreme end of what my gearhead buddy and I were pondering the other day. I showed him the ZPI turbo for the 1NZ-FE and he drooled.
