    As KD said, ignition leads ? Iridium sparkies would be nice too.
    Ceramic coat in and out of your extractors ? It helps, despite what ppl say (well in my experience, it was a very noticable difference).

    Fuel pressure regulator, sticky rubber, bushes, braided lines ?
    And the obligatory volt stabiliser and earthing kits ? Heheh :P

    From that, i'd say you'd have hit the end of the n/a path pretty much. Just small tweaks or experiment with cams and timing etc from there.

    Oh you mentioned a new custom fab intake pipe, and i gather from your other threads you have the RPW insulator gasket. May as well find a material to wrap around your intake pipe to deflect heat and avoid heatsoak.

    Individual throttle bodies...hrmm i don't think it'd fit in an FTO with standard bonnet, let alone a mirage (we call 'em that here). But heck, if you manage it...Nice heh!
    (ITBs boost high end a bit but aren't too great for low end i think, you generally find these on high revving n/a engines designed for power at the top i.e. racing applications. Have a look at the toyota 4a-ge blacktop or silvertop for an idea on ITBs. Some modded mx-5 engines run ITBs too.)

    Get your extractors ceramic coated in and out :D

    Sounds like you've hit the end of the n/a path, if you still want a decently streetable car :P

    ive put the order in for the extractors ceramic coated and ignition leads near 350 ish gbp £ i think for it all with shipping ect (i have to say i love the exchange rate from aus :D ) the rest of my exhaust will cost £650 in stainless
