new suspension and get abit more power from it, 270/280 would be alright in a cally
to get that power get a bigger intercooler and a phase 2 chip

power is honestly the last thing you want to address in a trackcar its nice, but you'll not use it all till you improve the rest of the car. Nothing worse than straight line hero's on track holding up cars on corners
