   Take stuff out of it (interior) etc,
   
   Uprated Camshafts,
   standalone management,
   Throttle bodies,
   Forced induction?
   
   depends on how much cash you got...
   
   remember suspension and brakes are an important factor for a fast car.

   if you haven't maximised the handling I wouldn't look at any more engine mods. A car needs a lot of extra power to make up for inferior suspension performance.
   
   For engine performance though a cam would be the next stage. I'm dubious as to the benfit of a 'chip' but certainly a remap of the ECU would be advisable.
   
   Further stages will be limited by budget. Certainly with certain cams you have to junk the o/e induction / fueling and ITBs become a requirement.

   Agreed!
