Default What next?

So I went to kennedale(if any of you tx ppl read this) yesterday for their last day of the season. I played with launching the car to see what it liked. Cut almost the same 60' launching off ilde or stalling it as much as I could. Last time out it ran a 7.901, so I just wanted a 7.8X. Track Vid

It ran a few 7.83's with a best of 7.824
Slip reads:
60' 1.726
330 5.066
MPH 68.48
1/8 7.824
MPH 87.65

Now my mods are pt4000, 3.42's, lid, hooker lt's, 3in duals, pro kit springs in front, v6 rear springs, cheapo stock replacement front shocks, stock 90K mile rear shocks and it's tuned. I feel like the car is maxed with the parts it has now. What can I do free/cheap to go faster w/o making more power? Thanks
