Sure you could probably eek out another 5hp by remapping with a higher rev limit and advanced ign. timing but do you really want to ??? It just brings your motor that much closer to KA-BOOM. I am pretty sure that is not what you are looking for. Porsche motors are expensive.

Take comfort in the fact that you now own a high performance German sportscar that very few drivers have the skills needed to really take it to the max. (Schoemacher excluded). Enjoy the ride.
I think that when it's finally broken in properly and I can drive it how I want to, this won't even cross my mind again. It's just a desire for that thing I can't yet have and it's hard to be patient, so I am thinking about things such as performance modifications in order to redirect my thoughts...perhaps. I don't know, but I'm sure it will pass.
