Default How would you reach this 1/4 goal? Input appreciated :)

Goal: 140mph trap speeds on the 1/4 mile in full street trim (minus rear drag radials)
Car is a Z51 A6 daily driver /w lots of stop and go.

Current mods: A&A V3Si (9psi), TSP LT Headers, Alky Meth
Current state: 625rwhp ~130mph on the 1/4 mile

Things that I do not wish to pursue (at this time at least): weight reduction and nitrous.

What would be a good and cost effective way to reaching this goal?

Heads & Cam (mild to moderate)?
(BAMF) Cam only?
Larger S/C Head Unit + Forged Pistons (lower CR?)+ Increased Boost
Other?

We have had great success with our cnc ported heads and camshaft combo. More boost and E85 will get the job done for sure

The car would need more high RPM horsepower not more low RPM torque. So that could be a different cam as a first step.

But lower the car 1" with Penske or Bilstein coilovers and push less air.

Also, completely block the front air flow under the car with a front air dam. But that's very risky as it will produce a high speed aerodynamic oversteer
