In looking at the video, I see a couple things that could help.
With no front downforce or splitter, there is a ton of air going under the car. It's already converted to a front breather, so making the air go around the nose instead of under the car will help slice through the air. Getting air under the car will make it float. Just adding an air dam would be a huge plus.
Use 200mph tape to seal the leading edge of the hood and seal off those cavities beneath the head lights.
Remove the outside rear view mirrors. An amazing piece of drag pushing those pods through the air.
A 1/2" wicker attached to the rear spoiler will keep the rear planted.
MAX caster and maybe 1/2 a degree negative camber. And the slightest bit of toe in. You don't want it being too steering responsive at 200+.
Its great to see an F-car attacking the LSR.

I would be interested in what the rules say constitutes a "stock body". That front clip looks awefully sealed ...

The problem at the mile is traction. It is not a preped track. That thing will blow the tires off for 1/2 a mile. The F- bodies do get lite at speed, you will want to vent the under hood air. Our air lid blew loose even with it screwed down. Good luck
