Weight is free and won't require you to punch a hole in your firewall. Drop the weight and get them in the corners. 
Another tactic is to run smaller diameter tires to effectively lower your final ratio and shorten your gears. |
......was going to suggest going for some very light weight track wheels. I think this is very often overlooked. Spinning up heavy wheels robs power.
