The 3.3 final drive will definitely help. To not have to shift into 5th or hitting the rev limiter in 4th before getting a chance is a big deal. the final drive will be one my next changes before going back to the track.

replace all the suspension bushings in the rear with delrin, urethane, and/or spherical bearings where possible. This is my next change. I just did it in my Mustang (yes the new ones are IRS) and it made a world of difference. Keeping those tires pointing as straight as possible helps a lot.

Dont lower the car too much, it screws up the control arm angles and it will camber too hard when it squats.

Align the car to as close to 0 camber as you can bear to look at.

Replace suspension cradle and differential bushings with solid/urethane type to both reduce rear steering and reduce wheelhop
