My guess is that when my brother took my car for a drive, on the highway the bearing somehow blew open leaked hot oil on the wires around the starter causing fire.

As for the power gain i would like to like to drive a decently powered car with, and i know some friends that race on various tracks around metropolitan atlanta. Yeah i dont think 500hp is necessary for me but i would at least like to own a car in 300-450hp range, while keeping most of the parts on the car toyota brand.

Well at least he was not hurt and the car did not burn. I crashed a Volkswagen Squareback one and the car burned. The thing burned itself out from front to rear.
About taking it on the track, then it makes sense. I would think a new or a rebuilt engine would serve you well. It is one thing driving a high millage engine on the expressway but on the track you need every advantage.
