I expected 350 hp to be in the 275whp range and not lose much compared to the Subaru, yet, the 370 feels a lot less aggressive. I have revved it out a few times and it felt better, but not great. I'm considering trading for a Cayman vs putting on all the bolt ons we've read about. Your thoughts?

I think you're taking turbo lag and turning it into an impression of power. I dont think you'll ever be pleased with N/A performance then if you cant get past the initial rush of boost. I'll take 300 N/A WHP with no boost rush versus 300 turbo WHP any day...even if you dont get the nice feeling of being pulled hard all of a sudden.
