I’m not trying to be pessimistic but realistic with you. Assuming your engine is original to the car and the heads have never been off, the next mod to do to the engine is a fresh valve job and new mls head gaskets. Until that happens, don’t mod the car as milkshake is in your future even in stock form. The stock fiber head gaskets were weak.

Let me say a few things but please understand nothing means to offen anyone.
If you are after the 0-60 time. This SC 308 is not for you and it's not even a good platform for that.
All performance upgrades are very expensive and require tones mechanical works.. a lot of things are off one and you would not find any plug and play parts from vendor.. also pretty much other parts would require also replacement... Overhaul......
do expect over budget...last minute technical problem discovery....over estimate labor time....
