So far, in my experience, tons of power is overrated. This car was designed around balanced handling and does this very well. When on a road course getting waved by, by a Corvette or Challenger, only means that the driver isn't at your level, but it feels real good. There are many videos to watch with this little machine outdoing machines infinitely more powerful in the curves. I can remember watching a Super Sport Motorcycle race where most riders were on modified 750's. But the most exciting rider was on a 600 and flying through the curves, passing without reservation. This little gem is much like that 600, no real power, but man can it handle.
If you live your life 1/4 mile at a time, build it. If you live for the ride, you won't need the power. Well, maybe a little more. Start with the header and exhaust, stay NA and keep the balance of the car. But you've already gone FI and changed the balance. I hope that this turns out the way you want it to.

Thanks. I guess to late to go back now so I just better make the most out of it. Without a real track around, I will mostly be doing quarter miles I guess until next winter when the track in Bahrain is back on and there are several events I plan to join.
About the wing, tell you the truth I wasn't too happy with the outcome either but the trunk is now drilled so it will stay for a while. might get a ducktail carbon fiber trunk to use as an alternative.
