More spark energy isn't needed until you have more chamber filling, more fuel and a higher compression ratio. We have some of our engines that have been built with 14:1 compression ratios; they need more spark energy.

If you haven't increased engine volume, spending money on high power coils and larger injectors won't do much of anything and can lose performance. Thats like the guy that spent 3300 bucks on a muffler that made him LOSE 27HP at the rear wheels on our dyno back to back.

Bigger is seldom better, the crowd that thinks that it is, are always the easiest to beat.

Ok injectors aren't a good option and higher power coils won't help. You can see where I am with mods and what I've done to get more power out of this 2.7 so far. Every thing has been positive in that department, are there any other trick or tweak I can do to get more HP for one more year in this engine.

I track the car regularly. It's paid for. I looked at newer cars which leaves me tracking a car I owe a lot on, which after seeing a dozen car into fences this year is a big NO. I'm the third owner of the car it had an accident so it has no value except to me.
