330 from a 2.3L shouldn't be too difficult. Keep in mind that GM, Ford and Hyundai all have 2.0T engines that make 270 ish now. The GMPP turbo upgrade I put in my Sky was simply a new calibration and a few sensors and that bumped it to 290. So make a few adjustements to the block and cylinder heads to handle the cylinder pressure and then bump the 290 by 15% (2.0 to 2.3) and ta dahhhhh 333. So that really isn't anything special. Just bump the 270 by 15% and do nothing more than raise displacement to 2.3 and you get 310 all day long.

But I would agree that there will also be an ecoboost V6 in the mix.

Not sure about tearing up the Coyote for only 450 HP 3 years into production. That is a pretty big deal. So not saying they can't but I'd be surprised at DI. It isn't just a bolt on.
