The S197s are more stout than that, I have an intake, tune and exhaust and am at 290 at the wheels, a person I went with made 270-275 and he was stock, I forget exactly what his number was but it was pretty good. All on a 80 degree day after a 2ish hour drive too, no cool down time. To give advice, either trade in for a GT or go FI, whichever you think is better for you.

I don't know what I was on, but most people won't use the heart breaker numbers haha. Also to the OP, another thing to consider is how far you want to go with your mods. A GT has more potential for higher numbers while spending less money.

I like your idea of new gears, reading though the post I was going to suggest it. You'll be amazed how much of a difference that makes in the snappy feeling of the car. A short throw shifter will also make a difference in feel. It will also build your confidence in automotive work as you grow in the hobby.
