My thought exactly. You really seemed to want more power. For $500 just drop in a nitrous system. I'm not sure what you can get for that money, but the Zex dry systems used to go that cheap. It seems pretty taboo in the Porsche world to add nitrous (probably 'cause it's so expensive to fix when the engine goes BOOM), but hey for the money that's your biggest horsepower bang (literally) for the buck.

If it were my $500 though and a stock car - I'd do lowering/sport springs first. It made quite a difference on my car.
