Default what else can i do

i have a 02 gt with the vortec v2 s-trim kit and the car isnt as fast as i would like it.What other mods can i do that will go with the vortec, its 7-9 psi, i also have a 75mm tb,3.90 gears,aluminum drive shaft and flowmaster cat back. Is there any bolt on things like intake or heads that would help. The car ran 13.20 the first time ive been to the track on street tires, i would like it to be in the 10-11 range for the 1/4 mile. Thanks for any help

longtubes will really help, plenum to go with the tb, tires, suspension especially.

+1 about the longtubes from what I hear.

Also intercooling so you can bump up timing.

Short throw shifter, suspension mods and either slicks or DRs. Won't add HP to your car but will help you lower your ET.

i did lower my car with springs, i also just bought some heat wrap for the headers to see if that helps a bit,i heard that the intercooler will help so im looking on here at some of the threads on them.Im just trying to figure out if its worth putting alot of money into or try a new motor. Anything about cams,and i was told bigger pistons would help but thats out of my league
