Move the battery back, only bad think about that you will have to wire a kill switch on the back of the car.
How hard would it be to remove the Traction control module up front, on the passengers side. Havent looked into it, but does that also run the abs also, if so forget i asked.
The electic Water pump, and a aluminum driveshaft, or even a PST carbon fiber driveshaft.
Put screws in the wheels, run a few pounds less or ~10lbs. Get a higher 2 step, and tighten the struts a setting, or 2 if the front is lifting to much.. The if it spins might try loosening the rear one setting. If it can still hook get a higher 2 step.

As far as moving the battery, it's too pretty to cover up in a battery box....LOL

I haven't played with these newer alternators, but the older ones can be disabled with a switch freeing up a couple ponies. You'd better have a good battery to deal with the power the electronics needed to run the engine.

Ok if im not mistaken, I think its still the stock displacement is it not? How bout stroking it out to a 5.0, or even a 5.4? that should make more torque, and power should it not?
