I'd look into wrapping your exhaust, methonal and turning the boost up a little

Snow performance sells the STG2 kit for $399 IIRC, and wrapping the exhaust will cost about $100 and a evenings worth of time. Then you can crank the boost up a few more pounds if you have the fuel and tuning means

Another good mod would be a Wideband

Yeah it definitely does weigh more but it actually has less drive train loss due to the pinion angle vs the 9"...

Get a 150 shot of NOS. That will shake things up a bit.

The next best power huh........

How much boost are you running now???
If i had to guess id say not more then 12 psi or so.....
Your sig says a T-70 so its a T4 flanged turbo and is probably wayyyyy past its efficency range. What are yor intake temps like???

The reason i say all of this is because i ran into the same problem with a bigger turbo then what you have now. A GT42-76. It was out of steam on my 370ci motor. Intake temps were in the 200+ degree range.
Meth would help but its only a bandaid that really isnt fixing the problem just cooling the intake charge.

Meth...... or larger turbo... Did I miss where you said what PSI you are running? What is your fuel injector size? Exhaust wrap all the way back would be good to.

Hell with a 8.5 CR you should be able to crank up the PSI another 3-4lbs... that would be a good start.
