Run out of mods to do?

So I'm looking for the next bolt on mod that is going to make a difference. THe car is a 92 ws-6 L-98, so far.

-K&N direct intake
-airfoil
-making large tube runners, ported plenum and base
-1.6 roller rockers
-edlebrock headers
-3 inch high flow cat
-electric cutout
-3 inch hooker cat back
-LCA's,panhard bar and poly bushings
-T-56
-3.42's
B&M ripper,LT4 clutch
all new ignition, filters etc..

So the next step is heads or cam. Since I drive the car everyday I can't have hte car down longer than that (yes the T-56 swap was a one night job). I dont want to go FI or Nitrous, and don't have a ton of money. I prefer to make my own stuff, like the runners and electric cutout.

So whats next? I don't care about handling that much, i never push the car handling wise, just drag race it. I think nittos 555r's are the next thing to buy?

subframe connectors, lower control arms, and a panhard bar will help launches a lot.

He's got two of those.

Subframes should have been installed long ago. Nitto 555Rs are a great tire.

Whats a K&N direct intake? If it is a throttle body mounted filter then make a real cold air intake. A TB mounted filter will suck in air about 40-50 degrees hotter than a functional cold air intake.

Get a good tune. That's a bolt on too - and at this point of modification with the stock programming you are losing anywhere from 25 -40 rwhp.

I have SFC's forgot to mention. Also I have the GTA hood and the front vents are cut out from the bottom. It dumps outside air right on the filter.

I guess a tune is next, I really need tires I trap at 101 right now but am barely in the 13's

I looked into the lack of traction, When I swapped in the T-56 i used a 4th gen torque arm mount, i think this threw off the pinion angle. I am looking to see if a third gen t-5 mount will be better. Does anybody have a pinion angle gauge I could use?
