I'd first go for either a manual conversion or modify and beef up the transmission - if these are not done in the first place they will soon fail. I'd also be very careful that I hang onto my P plates as going back to walking ain't no fun which you are aware of. Maybe also do a precision driving course that will allow you to better use the power you have already.
Back when I started driving in the 50's, a flathead V8 souped up was flat out doing 100Kph in under 10 secs and that was after fitting hi-comp heads, straight thru exhaust, twin or triple dual barrel carbys and a Mallory magneto. That figure of 0 to 60MPH (100Kph) in under 10 seconds was the figure you dreamed of. A standard VS will do it in around 8 seconds so don't feel bad about it!
Good luck with whatever mods you do.
