GEARS!
3.90 or 4.10 ratio is what I would do.

After that grin wears off, you can add more power, mod for handling, or both.

I'm thinking about downgrading my brakes, cause when I think of all the money I dumped on cars if I ever get in a scenario where I'm gonna wreck I wanna make sure I'm still going faster enough to check in at the lobby of the afterlife cause I know my car will get totalled out and I'll be losing a few years of paychecks.

You may want to look at a aluminum DS too. I hear they free up some nice HP since you can take the pumpkin damper (12lbs) off the rear end.

Good luck with your search for more speed. It never ends

Oh if you not doing too many mods and staying N/A, just get a good set of brake pads. Don't go cheap on this one ( Hawk, Baer, Brembo, Akebono, etc.)

Like said above, brakes some suspension. Get a supercharger get a Killer Chiller, bypass your intercooler for colder temps. Outside air is hotter than what will be comming from your a/c.. Your temps will be ~50-70degrees after about 10 WOT runs..
