I've got '89 n/a. I've spent hours reading everything on the internet about getting more power from an n/a. You've already done the 'bolt-ons'. I tried some of the other little tricks, but they did not really do anything worth while, (except lower my mpg). The only way to get more is a complete rebuild, with all the internal mods available.
I ran across a site that said they can 'safely' chop 1000 lbs off the car. That would definately make it go faster.

Yeah, getting up to 300hp without a power adder of some kind is gonna be more expensive than adding a power adder, and more than likely a LOT less reliable...
