MAINTENANCE!! even though its a low mileage car, you want to be sure that all the vitals are on point...but driving a 9 sec GN I'm sure you know that...BFI, Exhaust, Suspension.

intake, Intercooler, exhaust and a few other things, I gained about 60HP alone just by switching out the stock exhaust to an aftermarket one.

If you plan on beefing up the motor
i suggest you get the suspension, drivetrain beefed up in preparation to handle that power
