The P5 is a great engine for the price. Clutch, pipe, header, and Carb restrictors are your best mates. If you need more power use a 8 or 9 restrictor. Pipes are important geez I must have over 15 pipes pending on engine and mood. You can always send or buy an engine for a Mod which will help. You could buy a stronger engine as an alternate that way you have something in your box for those high bit days. I'm not a pro in any means if your not able to drive consistent then no engine will be good enough.
I saw a few clips of your track and it looks very fun. You have the track for a high hitting engine if your interested give Clockworks a ring or a person you feel comfortable with and ask questions about Modding and engine.
