The stock GSL-SE had around 130-135 hp. You want to add 2/3 of that with bolt-ons. That's a tall order.

The first is a Racing Beat exhaust.

The second I can think of is to cobble together a turbo setup that will work with a 6 port OR go with a Camden Super Charger

Drive it <5,000 miles / year or put antique plates on it. Then delete all of the emissions equipment.
