Default Am I maxed out? Help! I need more power!

I got back from the strip an hour ago and have been contemplating ever since. I love my car but I need more power. I have been told that without completely abandoning my current setup, I am at the limit. What do you guys think?

Currently I am running:

AWE K04 w/GIAC
Neuspeed Borla
S4 WWL's
ITG Hi flow filter
Sachs HD clutch

I have been thinking FMIC but most of the guys I know that have gone that direction ended up with slower ET's.

Do I need to buy the S4 to be happy? I already have so much invested in this car (E codes, Bilstein/Neuspeed, Euro Tails and sides, cross drilled, Mintex, SSBL, the list never ends...).

Default slower ETs with FMIC? i hightly doubt that, that doesnt make any sense at all.

what are S4 wwls? you could get a race program for your K04 or you cuold get the GIAC program for the upgeaded cam shafts

thats what im doing. oh and you could definatly get a exhaust manifold. what are your ET right now?

Default From what I understand

the intake charge has a longer path to travel and loses PSI going into the engine. This is from experience with a 1.8T and Buick GN.

theres more lag, but i doubt it would be noticeable, and a lot less power loss due to heak soak.

Default I spray the intercooler with nitrous before each run anyway

so I don't think heat soak is an issue for the 1/4 mile.
