The greatest NA gain is generally a header and tune..... E85 would provide gains for sure, but you're limiting yourself by not getting a quality header.


Power costs money, how fast do you want to go?

Plus - There is always risk of component failure when changing anything on a car. The car was designed as a whole with the stock parts in mind. Altering anything can (not will, just can) cause issues elsewhere. If you want more power, a drop, different lights, louder exhaust, etc. then you have to fully understand what those risks are and be willing to take them. To say you (I again state that "most" of the people here do not want more power. many yes, most no)want more power but do not want any of the risks, cost or inconvenience (exhaust too loud) is counter intuitive.
You also complained that you would "lose your ass" by selling it with the mods you already have. Well welcome to realities of the world of car modding.
