Where did you track it in CA? If we're talking road course and not drag strip, for reference a fully stock 1LE is capable of 1:50 at Buttonwillow CW13 in the hands of a great driver (1:34 at Laguna, 7:16 Nurburgring).
If you know BW you know that's a very fast time that beats good/very good drivers in Ferraris, McLarens, GT3 RS, etc. by several seconds. Again, with a great driver behind wheel of 1LE.
This car is not lacking in power, and adding power only helps you catch up or pass on the straights, at which point if you're not a great driver you just get in the way of great drivers with less power. If you get the most out of the 1LE's amazing grip and turn like a great driver, you'll beat 99% of drivers in any car.
If you're already capable of 1:50-1:53 at BW forget what I'm saying and add some power (it's easy), if you're not... IMHO work on turning skills for first.
