what can i do to get a little bit more power?

Currently stage 2 with protune by Ed.
spt intake
megan downpipe
vishnu uppipe
apexi gt spec exhaust
samco intercooler hoses
Gm solenoid


runs great....but getting power hungry.

I still want it to be reliable though.

anything besides a bigger turbo to get more power?
