what else do you have? full exhaust? i recommend if you dont already have get a 3" downpipe, high flow cat or test pipe and catback exhaust, 3-port boost control solenoid, walbro 255 fuel pump and retune on your 93 octane gas. i think with full bolt ons, fuel pump, 3-port and tune on VA's 93 octane you could easily hit 315whp depending on dyno.

-change spark plugs maybe gap to 24
-oil change
-change all driveline fluids
-get all bolt ons
-retune

Well I couldn't really see anything wrong with the pic. Proof is in the pudding. In this case pudding is the feeling between the Go peddle and my butt. How is your pudding?
