Take it to Steve Kan @ gotham racing go to www.gothamracing.com for more info... he is a proven IDRC drag racer... they can set the car up w/ several stages 500+hp would be one of the high ones... being full fuel system, motor and turbo work, ecu (PowerFC, haltek E6K, or AEM is common), clutch, brakes, radiator, FMIC, and some other minor work. You could have the car shipped and worked on. He is one of the best tuners on this side of the pacific. Great service @ a great price! He goes by pluto on the forum.

Take it somewhere fairly local. Kan is great but can you imagine having to take the car from Canada to Texas???

I would take it to the closest reputable shop.

Do BPUs/reliability mods, and focus on diligent maintenance.

Enjoy the car as it is and learn how to drive it before you go overboard.
