Best way to increase HP and Torque with FI

Hi, trying to figure out what's the best way to increase hp and torque. Love the handling of the car, but lack of low end torque is getting to me. Would an intake, exhaust and maybe software help lot? Or would only be minor? Any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated. I dont want to go FI....

Header, drop in filter and a solid tune. Those will give you the best gains and for your dollar as well.

nos is the only way


but what I don't understand is that most people complain we have too much power and that the handling is what needs improvement.
How new is your car?

I thought there was plenty of low end torque, the mid range dip is where it needs improving.

Your thread title says for FI.
