BTW, you can take your TSX to RTR in WI and they'll do to your car what they did to their own, though I think they tweak for each race.

Yeah I believe the BTC series runs the 2 liter while the world-challenge TSX is the 2.4. Huge difference.
As far as FI goes in world-challenge - it's a new rule this year designed to entice the Subarus and Mitsubishis of the world. Volvo runs in GT with the S60R. Here is a link to the technical specs of the Subaru. Here's a link to the page that has all the vehicle technical specs listed for each car. LINK

But don't plan on driving it on the street. 
Also rebuilding the engine every 1000 miles might get a little pricey too.

Wow. Didn't know about that.. That's about every two or three race events?

My guess is they probably run a lot hotter than stock form does, and maybe they don't have provisions for engine knock, which may well occur.
Since their internals are forged, they might be a little higher maintenance, with possibly looser tolerances than stock.
It all depends on where the engine is stressed most: From the head or the bottom?

Hmm. very tempting indeed. I've really downloaded all the specs. waiting to go to the tuning shop and talk it out with the owner. but most shops over here don't have that much experience with the K-engines. so no idea if can get it to work.
maybe adding a ITB will further boost the WHP. Tsk. see how it goes.
