Cam, intake and exhaust will help lots. Then there's always forced induction - either turbo or super charged.

Oh, welcome!

Don't forget the LSD, I went from stock 3.08 SS to a 3.73 geared LSD and my time slips showed a big difference- 15.6 to 15.1 no other mods. Show me a stall that can do that. Im not saying stalls are bad its just that you shouldn't dismiss the LSD.

If I was doing it again I would go for 3.9 gears instead of the 3.7s.
