Actually, I'd consider my 3.0L to be somewhere in the middle of the pack. As for hybrids, it's doing a decent job, but isn't too impressive when you think about Tom's old Hybrid putting down 217whp on the stock catback. I'm currently at 206whp and 195wtq. You can definitely get more out of it if you plan to do any headwork and port matching. You might talk to Evan(Timeless420) about his high compression 3L, and what he thinks his 11.X:1CR pistons did for his motor. I believe he's putting out quite a bit of power actually. If you're going with the Hybrid for sure, and you want to put money into pistons, you might go a little higher CR. You'll definitely want/need a tune to get that untapped power out of it though!
Your best bet with that Hybrid would be to do ANY work on the heads now that you can, install SVT cams and 3L valves(if possible), MSDS headers(can be had for ~$300 coated!!), and build yourself a true dual setup. Get a nice big K&N & MAF adapter, 65mm T/B and use your stock MAF. Any port matching of the intake manifolds to heads should be done now also. After a tune, you'll be well over the 200 mark, or potentially in the 220+ range with the right amount of work. Good luck!
