Thumbs up Need help with next mod

Looking for a couple opinions on what to do next, heres my current set up,
Motor-Stock lower with stock 853's, full bolt ons, ls6 intake,42#inj, TSP MS4.
Trans- TH350 4100 stall w/tb, cooler
Susp-Adj LCA's, panhard bar, sfc's, tq arm relocation,QA1's rear only
Power Add- 150hp Dry setup
Rear-Stock with 3:23's behind 325/50/15 ET Streets
Weight- 3200 without 300# driver so 3500 w/me(easy on the driver red) lol

Ok so what do you guys think would be the best mod with my current set up, I personally was thinking about a set of 3.90 motive gears, but also have been thinking about an adj tq arm. My car is a Street/Wknd Warrior, and Im fine with running just an 1/8 mile blast.
Best so far with 800psi bottle 7.09@98mph with a 1.57 short time. I personally think it will dip into the 6.xx with a lil warmer bottle but let me know what you think....THX

Take out the front and rear bumper supports if not already.

I would say get your bottle pressure up to 950 when you leave the line and you will run your 6.XX in the 1/8th. If it is already hooking then leaning it out is going to make it 60ft better too. Bottle heater is cheaper than $500 struts. Once you get a rearend under it than can take some more power then I would say you need some more suspension mods like struts and shocks.
