One of 2 easy ways:

And as a bonus, you could do either one within 300m of each other.

The video shows speeds like you'd have in a prototype car not a street based GT. Look at the video time counter, and near as I can tell he cut around a 1:10-1:15 lap time. That beats the last lap record I recall being set by an ALMS prototype Audi R8! I doubt that his car is that fast... nice car, but let's get real.
It looks like he's a decent driver, however I would have to agree that it's sped up

I hope we all answered your questions Nick, I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but to get bigger HP you really need to let the little motor breathe better.

Let us know what you decide and any more questions, we'll be happy to send you in the right direction

Another NAMer...

is getting Dinan to try a custom tune for a RMW head. REally, you've tapped the Dinan stock catalog. Get a head for improvement all the time. Nitrous will give you more in short shots, but it's not for everybody....
