It's been done before. 2GNT with highly customized 2.4L out of a Stratus. Unfortunately, the shop that did the build down in Texas was fairly inept. After the car changed hands, it underwent a great deal of clean up and proper tuning. Ended up putting just over 300 to the wheels. Less than impressive.

Exactly.

Those who can't handle the installation of a non-PnP tuning tool should seriously reconsider their build goals. There is really minimal-to-zero aftermarket support for 2GNT 420A tuning, so if you don't want to learn to install the one proven tuning package, then don't bother building a powerful 2GNT, as it's only going to end in tears.

10.5:1CR with forced induction is doable. Keep a close eye on your AFR and EGTs. The ability to adjust ignition timing will be paramount. I would suggest anyone with serious aspirations for their forced induction 2GNT to make MS one of their first purchases. Even on a stock 2GNT, you can become familiar with tuning and see the benefit of improved economy, which will save you money between fill-ups.
