Definitely a tune from a GOOD shop. Other than that, gears, t-lok, suspension, good tires, weight reduction etc. Easiest way to run with GT's is F/I though, probably the only way honestly but you can't do that on a budget. A full-bolt-on N/A V6 will still be slower than a stock S197 GT.

Only cheap way to keep up is with nitrous, but it is only cheap up front, filling the bottle adds up. There is a saying that always applies "Fast, Cheap, and Reliable; pick two." I would get a tune and some rear gears and be happy with the improvement, don't expect to be as fast as a GT or an STi or Evo.
