Just echoing what others have said but it sounds to me that there are two things you need to do.
1) Get that 2.25" exhaust
2) Get it properly dyno tuned
2) on its own gave me 6kw more - from 60 to 66kw - on a not far off standard engine, (32/36, std cam, lukey extractors, 2.25" exhaust). Cost about $220 for tune, which is $36 per kw which is the cheapest power you can get.
