Build a new frame
Do a Mustang 2 style front suspension with rack and pinion
Switch to a glide

I could see with the above getting another 200-300 out of it.
I don't mean to take this too far off topic, but aren't our trucks too heavy for a glide? From what I've been reading, they say you need a light car(3000lbs or less) or lots of power to take advantage of a glide.
