Evo lacking power?

Hey guys , so about a month and a half ago now I bought my evo 8 MR, I'm loving the car however I feel a little let down with the power , feel like I was expecting a lot more, although I feel like it could partially be me getting used to the power since buying the car as well.
I have attached 2 photos which shows the mods on the car which the previous owner did, if you guys have any suggestions on some additional things to do to my car that are still affordable that would be great , have dyno sheet which is received when purchasing the car which shows 211kw at the wheels

I read the mods & they are very modest indeed. 211kw tranlates to approx 282 hp at the wheels if I read that correctly

Yeah, after pushing the limits on any higher performance car, you start to get used to it LOL. Maybe thats all youre feeling

Wonder why the fuel pump was changed, but still stock injectors? The mods look like someone was in beginning stages of power upgrades & didnt finish them?

all it has really is an exhaust and a filter, the numbers seem right.

Seems about right, after a while you get used to your car and start itching for more

I'm also having the same dilemma with my EVO 9. I've only had it for a month now and it feels like it is lacking "power." Like, if I step on it, the car won't launch like it used to. Is it really because we are just used to it compared to the first time we drove the car? Cheers.
