Without some sort of power adder, you won't get much more out of your car.

You can try heads/cams but at the cost you might as well go with an FI setup.

Are you using a DR or just regular street tires?

Get some LCA's with relocation brackets to lower the 60' ft time.

Put some inexpensive Jeg's drag lites on it. Front and rear for additional savings. Look at a rear seat delete and look into taking the 48lb passenger seat out.

EDIT. Tlok is fine at your power levels. I was cutting low 12's on a tloc with 3.73's. I did eventually put a lpw girdle cover on it though
