What more can I do?

I want to keep my car N/A, but what else can I do besides what I already have in my sig? Not quite sure yet if I want to get a tune because I heard that if I want any real gain I would have to switch the car to run on plus gasoline or higher. I want to keep it 87. But besides that, what else should I do?

2.4 IM, 2.4 or LSJ tb, tune (as long as you stay N/A you should be just fine on 87). After that you are only left with cams, port and polish head, neutral balance shafts, and so on. Nitrous is also an option (not sure if you consider that forced induction or not) but you would definitely want to upgrade the rods and pistons for that

edit: forgot that the LAP has the new style 2.4 mani so forget that part lol

Premium gas is best. I could FEEL the difference in the added timing.
