Modding and driving efficiently for highway speeds and using momentum to your advantage could yield results.

Stick with it and see what happens

That's what i meant a tuned turbo setup running between 3-6 Psi might help

Something like an STS rear turbo mount or another brand if it would work better . Don't really know the difference between them

By fun u just meant a little more power when you really wanted to open it up sorry if i was unclear about that
