WAI, aero mods, as much as you can, LRR tyres inflated to max sidewall, DRLs to reduce alternator load, fixed ECU...

You've mentioned that you have camshaft adjusted for top end power, you should set it back to factory. You may think of longer (custom made maybe) intake mainfold to lower max torque revs.

And the most important thing, get some FE instrumentation! Vacuum gauge, MPGuino, ScanGauge or UltraGauge. I can help you with MPGuino - I have some practice.
