GT-R isn't a true sports car, either, I guess.

For the coming FT-86, which will have a DI boxer, it means even the lackluster 2.0 that normally makes 170 bhp could make as much as 195 for starters.

I forgot the exact formula, but I believe every 1/2 point in compression is 15 horsepower in an NA motor, roughly.
I'm more into American V8's, and that is what that formula is for, but should be close to accurate at these hp levels (mid 300's).
