That ones easy.
1) Sell RX8
2) Buy a GTO + a harrop blower
Seriously, I don't think its possible. Fastest Auto l can think of would be Phil (supercharged 8):

The 8 is not a straight line racer. Presently I believe that I may have the most HP of the AT 8s on this forum at 259. I have no idea what it will do in a straight line as an ET. Your existing tranny will support your effort as will the 4 port engine. Those are old pix - under the hood has drastically changed.

Without going FI it will be impossible. The good news for you is that
Go with the Esmeril Turbo set-up then and I'm sure that it will get you where are you trying to be.
On the other hand, I think you bought a wrong car if you were looking for a straight line fighter... Trade it in and get a V8.

this is a kind of arbitrary and specific goal. Is there another car your trying to keep up with? Do you have any other goals other than 0-60? Cause I'm sure you could do some stuff transmission wise that will get you as high as 60 mph really fast... no guarantees how much faster you'll be going beyond that though

This I gotta see - show me please. In my experience the interceptor X will not allow shifting properly at any speed for an 4 port AT. Unless it just happened Esmeril could not use a flash tuning system. I have the most respect for Esmeril but only on MTs because of the tuning requirements.

You should already be there. But if you really want to make sure..and money isnt a problem you could always fill the trunk with gold bricks.
