What else is there really, 314 rwhp on our small engines n/a is no joke. Why are you against f/i?

Not against it at all, but i eventually want to road race this vehicle and would rather make power na and not run into issue with fi and any type of endurance events. You guys probably know way more than I do, so I'm not trying to sound big here but i have talked to people who suggest that fi is not the best thing for a road racing/auto cross motor.

What do you think..

Pretty much at the limit of bolt on's...some suspension wouldn't be bad since you want to road race it.

Actually it looks like you need alot in the suspension dept. I suggest a full Maximum Motorsports setup, with Bilsteins, coilovers, torque arm etc.

MM suspension is definently my next big ticket item, i would like to do the full set up at once so im waiting on funds at this point, but you guys are right on the lacking suspension, so far Ive added full length subs and tokicos thats it.

Having power is great, but you waste alot of it if you cant get it all to the ground efectively.

+1, maybe an aluminum driveshaft and an intake too just to get more of that power to the ground

A commonly overlooked part for racing is a proper oil pan, too. I'd suggest a nice windage tray + oil pan for road racing. You don't ever want to starve your motor for oil when you're pushing it like that.

Aside from that, there's still some "bolt-on's" you could do but, your suspension work would be more useful than having more hp on tap.
