Help with next step modding my GT3

I have done about 240 laps in the last two months. Traffic on club days is very low right now, and allows lots of practice time. I have been using a RaceChrono lap timer, and have my track divided into 4 sectors. This helps me determine whether things like double-apexing a long turn help or not (it did), and whether I am faster out of the final turn into a long straightaway by changing little things to get my car rotated a little earlier (eventually I was).
+1 on putting a good diff in, Guard unit is amazing, and +1 on putting the toe links and other bits to make the car more consistent.

Great, thats a lot of laps in a short time! Now hire a coach. A real coach, preferably someone who has successfully driven a Cup. Let him lap your car. Witness the surreal abilities of a gt3 under full power exiting turns. Then see where you are in comparison. Learn to drive your car within an inch of its life. Then modify it.

Track only, so the mods should be okay. The only road use is to the gas station after I wash it--about five blocks away.

Allow me to simplify:

Let's make a double deal for a couple of RSs somewhere!
Kidding aside...you need a more aggressive track alignment and start running Hoosier R6. Alignment should roughly be -3.0 camber and neutral toe in the front, caster 8 degrees, -2.5 camber and 0.4-0.5 deg total toe in in the rear.
Better handling at higher speeds and cornering could also be achieved by RSS or GMG rear dogbones and adjustable toe steer kit with locking plates. You may also consider a front adjustable toe/bump steer kit.
Honestly, short of adding a lightweight flywheel there's not a lot of extras that will really increase performance for the buck.
Look for an RS with me.

That being said, good luck! And, how the heck are we both looking at the Orbit car and not moving on it?
