Anything else I should consider getting?
My car currently has:
-ETS intake
-ETS UICP
-ETS o2 dump
-ETS test pipe
-ETS V2 regular
-Grimspeed EBC
Made 312/338 on a mustang dyno and 91 pump. I know mustangs are not the best for accuracy.
I was hoping for a bit more, somewhere in the 350 range (want to get semi close to my uncle’s RX7), but I am 100% deadset on not having to replace any engine parts or run E85. Saw the headache my brother had to deal with on his E46 M3, I don’t have the time or the mechanical knowledge to deal with that.
Tracking wise, maybe once every 2-3 months.
So is there anything else I should be considering or am I at my limit without an engine rebuild/E85? Totally wouldn't mind if this was the end of my modding journey on the X if it meant it'd be reliable.

I would add that FMIC and see how much that adds. I have buddies with Stock blocks making 400+ on E85 so the motor is still good Past your 350 for sure. However, the peeps above are correct. time to put some money into her. Only thing I would add to their list is head studs. you can check out this kid on yourtube; 370zforme he claims to be making 668AWHP on stock block but with the upgrades listed in the above posts. 5150 tunes out in Cali (he posts a number of videos on the build about a year ago)

Thanks for all the replies.
I was already thinking about the FMIC, a little irritated I already bought the UICP by itself though.
Doubt I'll go with more power if it requires that much modification, I'm relatively happy with how it is now.
One last thing, my coworker has an unopened AMS intake he never installed. Only found it because he's moving. He's willing to sell it to me for $250. Is it worth trying to get rid of my 3 week old ETS intake for cheap + retune costs to run the AMS? I originally wanted the AMS but I already chose an ETS exhaust so I just figured I'd have everything ship together at once.
