supercharger, a turbo or two, a v8 swap?! : P

I have to imagine there are not too many other N/A mods you can do. are there any decent cam options for the v6?

If you are planning on driving at high speeds on the autobahn you may want to upgrade the suspension and brakes, lower the car an inch or two and get a better front air dam.
Have you removed the top speed limiter?
Btw, with 3:31s you can hit 162 in 5th if you have the power and no limiter.

I have 18x9s wheels and Nitto 555, 155/45 ZR 18s on all fours, I've hit the speed limiter a few times and mine handled very well. There is a pretty big difference between 115 mph and 150 mph, I'm interested in getting an update from you when you make the new mods and hot the Autobahn.

You can upgrade your ignition coils, $300-$400 and it should only take an hour or less. You can get 10-15% more power out them.

he has an Al one piece,

upgraded suspension, at the very least get springs, maybe shocks/struts as well, I've taken my stock to 130 and it gets pretty scary on the factory suspension and definitely consider sticker rubber

The coils only got like 8hp out of a procharged car. I doubt they would net over 5 in an NA setup.
