How many times do you put your foot to the floor and ask it for all it has? If it is frequently, then maybe doing expensive mods could be worth it. But if you drive on public streets in a semi-legal manner, I'll wager you don't ask the car to give you its all very often. So what difference would 10HP make if you never get/try to use it?

I've owned a '99 2.5 201HP and now have a '01 3.2 245HP and I'd be just as happy with the 44 less HP!! The base 2.5 was better than the driver.

My thoughts on the mods you can make, their cost, their effect, and the order you should do them in.
