Default my new 08 GT/CS mod suggestions!

about a month ago purchased an 08 gt/cs I love it going from a v6 stang to this car is awesome. the current mods that I got in my car are the following
- rear 20x10.5 matrix axis falken azenis pt-722 275/40/20
front 20x9 matrix axis falken azenis pt-722 245/35/20
-Eibach lowering springs 1.5 drop i think
- sct x3 CAI 93 tune
- bassani x pipe high flow cats 4" bassani ss mufflers
-steeda tri ax short shifter. mgw rally shift ****
-bullitt steering wheel

Im getting 4.10 installed shortly

my question is after the gears what is the next mod? Its a dd car for me that I want to bring to the track a few times a year. my goal is to go under 13 seconds

what mods would help most for 1/4 mile time, costing the cheapest.
1) suspension lca, relocation brackets adjustable panhard
2) long tube headers
3) cams
4) other?

I may want to get a supercharger down the road but im a few years away to have that kind of money.

also I bought the car with a 93 tune already on it I have the sct x3 tuner also is there a way i can find out where the tune came from? bama,brenspeed,vmp,jdm,ect..when i get my gears installed at jdm should i have them tune the car

thanks everyone heres some pictures of the new ride

Nice ride, I may be biased but it is really nice! I would go with the suspension mods and build the foundation for FI. IMO

Since you already have high flow cats and an x-pipe, I would do JBA shorties, CMDPs, and Detroit Rocker cams.

If you plan to race it, the best track mod by far is real tires. Track specific tires make all the difference. Those 20s are heavy as sh#t too. Now if tires arn't sexy enough of a mod, get some longtubes. Forget shorties. Cams are cool but not very much power IMO. I gained two tenths with longtubes and only 1 tenth with cams when I added those mods.

Car looks great. I love Cali specials............damn good looking car.
