Increased torque/horsepower

Is it possible to do anything to the 8 to get a bit more out of it as far as horsepower and torque are concerned?

im thinking forced induction come february when the new greddy turbo comes out (70hp increase). until then there are plenty of exhausts, which just add sound and about 5-7hp...obviously not noticable. you can get a good intake, not many available for rx8 right now though. K&N makes the typhoon intake...i like it, some people say they dont. just bolt on stuff.

as for torque, there's just not alot you can do, rotaries arn't made with alot and its hard to get alot out of them. they're made for high-revving horsepower.
