Looking for more off the line, get yourself a verter that will work efficiently with the X3 and you will pick up quite a bit through the mid range and top end.

I'd suggest a 3800+ coupled with your 3.73's to take advantage of the powerband of the X3.

Yank PT4400 and a G5X4 is what I'd suggest. Awesome effeciency on the big end with the Yank PT series.
