If the engine responds to mods like the first gen (loved my '15 BRZ and regret getting rid of it), a header and E85 should bump the 228 up to near 260. The 13.5:1 comp should really be able to take advantage of E85, the FA20 was 12.5:1.
The first gen was ridiculously easy to pull 100-150 lbs out without doing anything that impacted DD-ability. Lightweight battery, wheels, front brakes, rear seat delete was good for around 90 lbs on the first gen.

I agree headers and a tune would help to get another 20-30hp and further improve low end torque.
The big bright spot on the new one is max torque is now at 3-4k compared to over 6k on old one. It should feel much faster. The engine also sounds very good in some of the vids i saw but that maybe fake noise inside.
I will be very tempted if they release an STI version.

How reliable is the FA20 in those cars?
