Keeping in mind that 400KW is totally absurd in a car such as the SW20 in the first place.
Remember the 2 Supras that have been to the past 2 MTC's? Both broke within half a day of racing, they were putting out more power than yours is (or could be), but were MUCH more extensively modified to handle the power they had. And they still blew difs, clutches, snapped flywheel bolts.
Rob's car pulls ~300rwKw on 98RON if i remember correctly, and that's in a car that's had more money than I care to imagine poured into it, to ensure it will do that consistently.
Unless you're planning on spending even more big $$$ on building that engine from scratch, i'd tone it down to 220Kw at max, and learn to handle the car before thinking of that kind of power. On top of that, you'd need to also overhaul brakes, suspension and the fuel system to cope with the power, and hence, speed increase you'd be dealing with
Aside from intake/turbo/exhaust, your base engine and gearbox build are similar to my new SW, but because of the power, you've gotten less k's out of it than i have in mine in the span of 4 months. I don't treat my cars gently, either, as a few people can vouch for. I'm pulling 165-170Kw at the absolute maximum, and that's MORE than enough to have great fun on the track, and even keep it affordable for driving to work every day, which I do.
If you chose to run E85, you'd need to take many things into consideration, and I'm not the person to go giving advice about it, since I've never dealt with it myself, and probably never will, but you'd need a LOT of it to make it through 3 days of racing, assuming your engine survives the whole 3 days in the first place.
If I were in your position, personally, I'd be more inclined to find a cheap N/A, probably a Bathurst, as they're excellent cars with reliable engines, and learn how to handle the chassis first.
I did that for 2 years, drove about 70,000k's mixed daily driving, hills and track work, and learned the car inside out. It will help prepare you for the way the car reacts when you get into a car with some proper power.
All the power in the world won't make you quick if you can't drive it in the first place
This car was 306 on 98 ron as well. The fuel is already setup up for it. I have up graded the brakes and Suspension and the motor was build by Lewis engines there has been at about $20,000 spent on this motor alone not counting on the rest of the car, As you know I have 2 Sdub This one will end up a circuit car plan to put a cage in and floating hub with six pots brakes, willwood pedals etc. And the other sdub will be my daily.
