Default Modifying for racing?

After flipping through the tech forum and this one, I did not see anyone mentioning doing anything to make the Prius faster other than weight reduction. Our 07 is ours outright, I have a techstream, and I want to autocross (and many years from now maybe even dragrace) this beautiful car. My wife would shoot me if I ripped the interior out so I need to add power rather than remove weight. Has anybody started fooling with putting out more power from the electric side yet?

Thats nice! That's what I was looking for. Now to go do some research. Anybody know if the stock ecu can be loaded with the TRD calibration?
