Nope.

I have one of these, and there isn't much to do. Play with the
timing, put in a K&N. Next stop: new exhaust and cam, $$$.

BTW, do you have a turbo? You said "NF" engine, but above
you say that it is a 5000CS, which is a turbo; the NF is the
normally aspirated engine. The turbo has LOTS of potential.
