Default Getting a little more fron the y8 motor

I have a manual 99 sedan, chipped p28 with a basemap and d16y8 motor.
I'm planning on getting the most out of it, without rebuilding the motor or boosting it.

I have MSD ignition coil kit.
I am going to have this soon:
70mm throttle body
4-2-1 header
zc intake manifold
cold air intake
"2.5 pipe from the header all the way to the muffler, with a silencer instead of the cat converter

I have two questions:
1. A friend told me that thezc intake manifold isbetter than the y8 one. How is that possible if the y8 manifold is bigger?

2. What else can I do to get a little more power?

Thank you.

E85 fuel will help with a few HP,

50-100 shot of nitrous will be oodles of fun!
