DI may be able to open up some tuning possibilities though with leaner air fuel ratios without detonation. I don't know if the motor can rev any higher, that would be a easy tunable mod if the valve springs and rotating mass can handle it to push another 500-800 rpms out of the motor.

If the headers are already equal length I doubt there is much aftermarket headers will do.

High flow cat will be on my list because it will be usable either NA or turbo. Exhaust may help with the high flow cat combo but if the main restriction pre-exhaust is not removed it probably won't do much.
Power drops off after 7000rpm. Why would you want to increase redline unless you had other supporting mods to make it worthwhile?
