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.

That would have to be very inefficient as the exhaust gases have much less velocity/oomph the cooler they get...and then you have to pump it up the front again???

Rockers for a cheaper and easier install, Sucks being a P plater, had the same problems.
Were did you Get LSD done, Looking on ebay approx $200 for entire rear axl, would replace my self but if price is good. Got the mace pod box and upgraded to K&N filter with the 12mm spacer done,

Doing the rockers next, the ones from mace again.
Bought an lsd centre off ebay fully rebuilt and had it put in by a diff shop

Yeah mate she is already a manual, I have also done 2 skid pan driving courses which was good fun, really keen on doing another one actually. And yeah you make a good point with 0-100 times. I found out I can beat a brand new lancer but I still want more power like alot of people do haha

haha everytime you did a burnout in that thing it would be sucking in rubber and smoke... maybe run the pod up into your boot would be better lol
