Remove rear seats, passenger seats, headlining, spare wheel, radio, CD player, seat belts (except drivers), etc etc etc ...

Car is powerfull at 217 BHP, just weighs a lot .. so reduce the weight  power/weight ratio improves, car goes faster ....

Alternatively, leave as it is ... a powerful, luxury motor .. not a boy racer go-faster lump...  :)

Best power gain is to Cam the X30XE Piper do a nice set of cams for the 3.0/3.2 offers a 25-35 bhp gain

otherwise its a superchip which doesnt really do much imho!

Ive tried most things to my 3.0 with no noticible increase the exhaust system works best as standard playing with the exhaust seems to cause the engine to run very rich and buggers the Idle speed

a direct cold air intake might make some difference as the omegas inlet pipe has a few sharp bends in it

also some of the superchips make the engine run lean which can cause a big bang!!!!
