Chris;
The most potent source of power that can be had is probably (there's another of those key words) lyin' in the ol' steerin' wheel/ gas pedal/shifter nut.
Puttin' some time in at somethin' like an SCCA sponsored event will gain you more than jus' some track time. The folks that frequent these things enjoy sharin' knowledge as much as they enjoy clippin' an apex.
One of our site brethren put it best when he said that attemptin' to "improve" Stewie should only be considered after you've learned to make use of all that it has to offer. (Sorry Lance, I remember your intent, not necessarily the exact wordin')
Fact of it is, jus' like we're doin' usin', what is it? Roughly 20% of our brains? Many of us are only usin' the most obvious parts of what Stewie's capable of n' thinkin' that that's all it's got to offer.
If all of us were usin' all that Stewie had to offer us stock, there'd be a whole lot less B.S. about J.C.Whitney add-ons on this site.
Be well.
