What should I do next?

I just recently bought a Southbound stage 3 clutch (yes, it's in my signature and it's not installed haha) and a Fidanza Flywheel and I'm thinking about purchasing a TWM Shifter. My balts pretty fast as is considering its ZZP stage 3 and has the long tube headers n downpipe and 2.5 cat back (all ZZP). I think I can drop down to a 2.8 pulley considering I have dual pass and the ZZP intercooler. I'm curious what people would do next to my car if it was theirs. I still want to go faster without a turbo swap or TVS but I also don't want to blow all my paychecks haha. GIVE MAE SUM IDEAS!

Iv read a few people having issues with driveability with the lightweight flywheel on a dd car id consider staying stock on that, either to meth kit or e85 for more power

Yeah i meant south bend. And I dont have E85... i am too afraid of blowing my precious engine. I was considering the ls4 throttle body though, i heard it increases throttle reaction time and increases blower whine.

It's kinda too late for me, as i'm installing the clutch, flywheel, and TOB with a mechanic friend in his shop the 26th. When you say drivability what do you mean? Will it be too easy to rev or would it be too hard to take off normally? It would suck real bad if I realized I made a foolish purchase...

Cool, now I'm pumped. I assume the flywheel will make my car faster right? I'm not talking about horsepower of course, but won't it be able to rev a lot faster?

Pretty much. My ACT flywheel isn't as light as the Fidanza, but I don't see you having a problem.
