The quest for more torque

Update:
Got the new clutch (It looked pretty neat, I may get some pictures up later). Installed Turbo drivetrain in the car. Pedal effort is a little high, but the engagment is very smooth (as long as you don't try to drive gently). The new tranny is excellent (has synchros in all gears!!) After I finished with the drive train swap, I decided to take the car to the dyno again (more money...) Unfortunately, I had to give up my easy turning transmission, my ultra-lightweight flywheel, etc so I figured that I would lose a couple wheel horsepower. I was happy as a clam when I put down 203 WHp and 152 Wlb-ft of torque on my first run (Identical numbers to last time). I then decided to adjust the ignition timing some more. Here is a summary of what I found Ignition Advance at 8000 (Degrees BTDC),Peak Power,Peak torque 38,203,152 43,198,154 (I think the torque was inaccurate) 33,198,148 So now I decided to try fueling. AFR (Average),Horsepower,Torque 12.5,203,152 12.8,210,155 13.0,216,158 13.3,216,160 13.8,200,145 Going back to 13.3:1 I started adjusting trailing split Trailing split (degrees),Horsepower,Torque 15,216,158 10,216,158 5,216,159 0,216,160 -5,212,157 (I swapped leading and trailing plug wires for this test). So peak power was 216.4 WHp at 7575 rpm and 160.2 Wlb-ft at 6100 rpm w/ 38 BTDC timing, 13.3:1 AFR,0 degree split. (The glitch in the air fuel chart was corrected later, but after the AFR was steady, we quit including it on the trace.)
