(spoiler: it won't be cams)
I think I did reach the limit as for power. That's why I want some more and so far I fully appreciated every upgrade done on the car. I got scared a couple times on close calls at high speeds so I did purchase mods for the chassis and drivetrain. Perhaps the Wavetrac diff would really help for this matter. Somebody please chime in for this subject. Also, I have found that when you have to emergency brake when going at speeds above 130 mph the oem sport brakes are not enough for my requirement.

I bought it bone stock minus muffler delete and worked my way up through bolt-ons. I like the N/A build. It's a shame it has to be boosted to have respectable torque. I also thought of a stroker kit to remediate to forced induction but then it would mean to rebuild a still usable engine that barely has 45,000 miles on it so that would be unjustifiable in my opinion.

I think he’s suggesting race track visits when he said “seat time”.
