After you do all that you might get some noticable improvement. Now with the CAI new maf and all, why aren't you having Anthony drop in a tune?

Get him to raise the rev limiters on gears 1,2,3 at least.
Find out where you power band now is and run your gears longer if you can.

Stock the NA goes to 33MPH in 1st. Jump the rev limiter up to 6300, and you can run to 39. Seems a small difference but shifting takes just as long no matter how long the power pulls in each gear. 1st gear is a neck snapper, so make the most of it by extending the time there, get a better launch.

When you can approach 90 MPH in 3rd still pulling torque, you will see better speeds post launch, getting closer to the 2 sec at 60 and better 1/8 mile times.

In other words a great percentage of your time will be pulling not shifting.
