Supercharger owners, speak up

My post should have said "S2 Cab" not "SC" Cab -- sorry (is that a freudian slip? or just wishful thinking?)
"Yes, but what would you do with an SC Cab that you have owned for over three years, have had a recent complete repaint, added a splitter, 17" 993 wheels, had some custom interior work, Nak radio and have no intention of getting rid of for a long long time...but would like to have some additional power? If SC is not a viable or "proven" option, what can I do to increase the hp?"

My own situation: S2 cab with a salvage title, but in great shape. Naturally, I don't want to put too much money into it, but a few more hp would be great. Due to some recent conversations on the S2 renn-members-only email list, I'm thinking about a test pipe, a Steve R. chip, underdrive pulleys, and an aftermkt ignition, not neccesarily in that order. I think all that together might be worth as much as 30 hp. A guy with the test pipe and chip said that he could beat a 240 hp Mustang Cobra at speed.
EDIT: The S2 has 207 lbft at the crank, stock. Stock acceleration numbers of the S2 are not far behind a 240 hp Cobra (am I right about that?). The claim about the Cobra was in a repeated test, they were both surprised about the results (of course), and the S2 driver knew the Cobra driver. Also, Tom Pultz's S2 with only a Steve R. chip gained between 5 and 10 hp. I realize 30 hp for the 4 mods is probably optimistic. If I get around to it, I'll be happy with 20.

The Mustang probably wasn't even racing. You're comparing a car with ~270 lb-ft of torque to a car with less than 200 lb-ft of torque.
You might get 10 horsepower with all those goodies if you're lucky.
