How about porting the head? Sorry if you have a build thread and I didn't read. Since you don't want to go into electronics yet. Or the 7M head, since you have your car running like it is supposed to, unlike so many here.

nice numbers.. I wonder how the 7m head to the 6m (same as 5M right?)
ew.
and
EWWWW!
First, I despise, DESPISE the 7M head. If it doesn't have a FFIM, it looks uglier than sin IMO. Soooooo not interested.
Also, I don't see 7MGE dynos out there looking very nice, I know most are beat to death, but really now. I can only think of three 7MGEs that make 200+rwhp, all the rest are 160whp and lower. 12 more valves doesn't necessarily mean it is any better, at least not for a naturally aspirated application.
Why would I spend the time, money and effort to hack up my wiring harness, and changing my pistons for little or NO gain at all??
My goals:
to make as much hp as possible with STOCK head. stock porting, stock cams, stock valves.
to make as much hp as possible with mostly stock EFI system
to make as much hp without having to go standalone/piggyback/wtfever
What I left to do:
I still have more tuning to do, which is why I am installing an AFPR and going back to the dyno for adjustments.
I still need to upgrade to a 3" exhaust
Ignition? MSD? something stronger than stock...
adjustable cam gears, for advancing the intake and retarding the exhaust just a hair
75mm throttle body, dremel out casting in the AFM for slightly better flow
