Shouldn't we see IF I can run with you guys before I suggest a way to go faster?
The lower the car the better it should be in the dry. Look at the Mid-Ohio results. The fastest car when it was wet was pretty high (no idea if / how much the tires played a role) but he struggled a bit in the dry especially compared to Bill, in his super low rider (built to CUP rules.)
For '08 the pre '99 SMs were allowed to run the '99 shock hats which instantly gave all pre '99s about 3/4" more shock travel. Of course few used it, they just lowered their cars 3/4" and went faster.
A few MX-5 cups cars ran rear bump stops (before they were discovered and outlawed) to help plant the rear out of corners.
More shock travel will either let you lower the car or allow for tuning with bump stops, or both, which should make you faster in the dry.
