K&N AIR FILTER BABY!!! haha just kidding. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like there is much more you can do. I would love to see what that thing can do!

Well as stated before if your bottom end is up to it you could also run some FI. The FI and nitrous would work great together.

oh so much is left on the table N/A...if you got the money....18* heads, solid roller cam, victor intake, etc...but that would pretty much elminate daily driving, i just get off on talking about a top end package that looks like that. You could swap cams to a blower friendly/turbo friendly custom grind, and force feed it whatever your bottom-end/tune/fuel system can handle. Or spray a nice 200 shot on top of it, again depending on your bottom end/fuel system.

you've pretty much got every bolt on covered, if i were you i'd start with some cheap weight reduction, less weight = faster lol. I just bought an AC delete pulley off of ebay, I'm looking forward to installing it this weekend. just food for thought

with A/c taken off I can still have air blown through the vents right and the heat for winter will work aswell?? because my a/c compressor doesnt even work I think (has a leak to i believe)

Yup no problem. Everything will be the same except your air won't be as cold when your switch it to A/C.

Sounds like you still need some 1.6 RR's, race ported intake, and dyno tune. The power pulleys are also a good idea, with a light weight Fuidampner, and an Aluminum Flywheel to free up some power that is being used up or robbed. Royal purple to replace all the fluids (motor, trans, diff) and that with also gain you a minute amount. good luck.

Ive heard pulleys are good and bad. Some people gain and some people lose power.
