As for our car, theres very little you can do to gain substancial power other than going FI, i have even seen people add the exhause, header, and cai and actually loose hp. But who knows, i would change my mind after seeing unbiased dyno plots proving significant power increase

A long time ago, I saw Hams2000 post that he got 237 rwhp out of his build up. I'm assuming that's on a dynojet, and IIRC a large portion of those gains were from tuning his AEM EMS.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen any posts from him in a long time, so I don't know what the current status of his car is. If you're looking to get more than 240rwhp, you should expect to spend upwards of 10k.
If it helps, I'm currently putting down a hair under 215 (dynojet).

Best bet out here in the desert is a CAI and an exhaust, you'll be surprised at the extra punch for the $$$.
I wouldn't recommend ITBs unless you also put filters on each one (too much dust around here).
BTW, welcome aboard!

The biggest bang for the buck you can do is get the AEM EMS and get it tuned. I haven't seen more gains come from any other mod. Gives more power from low-mid- to all the way up top.
You're not gonna feel the 1-2 hp gain from most N/A mods on the butt dyno unlike what's commonly believed around here. Gotta get the whole set of CAI, headers, exhaust. Cars vary in power from instant to instant and can loose or gain over 10hp easily...but no one seems to realize that. But when someone uses new spark plugs, they feel increased power.
Gimme a break. If you're looking for noticable N/A power right off the bat, the AEM EMS is your ticket if you have more cash, get the other parts first and then the AEM EMS and get it all tuned.
