Well a tuned pipe and motor saver air filter are about your only options. Are you looking for more top end or more acceleration, or both? You can use different gears to make either acceleration or top end better but changing one will have the opposite effect on the other. The only way to see a big increase in top end and acceleration is to replace the engine.

You can allways go to 25 or 30% nitro but run the risk of reducing your engine life...

The LE already has a tuned pipe, and a decent air filter, so as mentioned above you could port and polish the engine.

But unless you're confident in attempting this? i'd leave it be, coz otherwise you'll do more harm than good.

Porting and polishing your engine will make a noticable difference though
