"Stage 2" bolt-ons worth it?

Daily driver + occasional AutoX + potential very occasional track day (for fun, so probably would only push car to 95% and intersperse some 75%/cool down laps)

Currently have JDL UEL + K&N drop-in + Perrin Intake Tube + Fujitsubo Authorize S Axle back + OTS tune.

Feeling itchy for just a little more HP (maybe 10-15), but my understanding is there isn't much more I can do in the way of bolt-ons to squeeze out some more HP.

I used to own an 2000 Impreza 2.5RS and had ALL the "bolt-ons", plus lightened flywheel, pulleys, cams. Although, the pulleys/flywheel didn't actually add HP, it did make the car more lively/responsive.

I've considered going FI. I can afford it, per se, but not sure I want the potential headaches. I prefer to have a reliable daily-driver vs a "tuner car" that I'm always fiddling with to keep in on the road.

Are there any other non-internal mods I missing that could help me squeeze out a few more HP?

There isn't a lot of E85 in my area...but maybe a flex fuel kit?

Maybe just pulleys, over-pipe, mid-pipe, and custom tune would be enough to deliver a little more pep?

I realize now that this is mostly rambling, I try to edit it later. In the meantime, feel free to share any insights.
