Three great and simple and stealthy engine mods: alternator on off switch with a deep cycle battery, injector kill switch, and a power steering delete. Two great and low key aeromods: an airdam and a stealthy grill block (put the block BEHIND your SI grill).
Some modest weight reduction can be stealthy too. AC delete is over-rated. Just don't use the AC unless your are in DFCO or other prime conditions for running the AC.
You gotta get a good fuel economy gauge.
Oh, and taller wheel/tire combos for taller overall gearing.

I checked out some of your stats and you’ve done some impressive things with your coupe. I’ve got the ScanGauge II for my gauges. Indiana Law just states that I need to have a mirror that the driver can see 200ft behind them so my 5 panel wink mirror does the trick. As for the WAI I’m going to make one because right now it’s about 30 degrees in the morning any my IAT is about 45 degrees driving and it’s a cheap mod anyway. For my Upper Grill Block I’m actually going to put it in front of the SI Grill that way it not only reduces the air traveling into the engine bay but also has some aerodynamic benefits as well. I got the idea from the salt flat top speed cars. I’m making a lower grill block as well and I’m also looking into some weight reduction like lighter wheels and maybe back seat removal. I’ll upload pictures of pretty much everything.
