get some good forged light weight wheels, lightweight flywheel and a good clutch, figure out what features/comforts you want to keep or delete, if you want to do more than a mild boost, gotta build the engine first too

Buy another car? Your SH will not be as fast as you would like on the track because it was made for corners.

Can bite the bullet and go higher compression pistons.

I had the 11:1 type S pistons with eagle rods, cold air, Alexis N1, Eriks racing 68mm TB, gutted cat (no tail pipe sniffing here) 7lb flywheel and an ACT 6 puck.unsprung clutch with a HD pressure plate and ran 15.1 without any tuning on a strip known to be about .4 seconds slow (track slopes up the whole way.. have to use ebrake to not roll back off of the line)

I was building more for the SCCA Solo II events I ran and not the drag strip though

This or trade it for a base and get into another type of racing so that you wont be limited by the ATTS system in terms of tuning options as a VAFC isn't great. Your header isn't much larger than stock, I'd def click on the link Kronn posted.

To the post about the carbon hood and trunk, IMO those are a waste, especially the trunk. Think about it, how much weight are you REALLY losing? You can shed much more weight by removing things like A/C, PS, aftermarket seats and sunroof delete just to name a few.
