Bye bye injen intake, hello Speed Genius prototype intake.
Stock tb out, Speed Genius big throttle body in.
Small tb spacer out, Speed Genius big throttle body spacer in.
Crawford power blocks? Yes please!
Swapping out the Agency Power header for a ported inlets/outlet HKS EL catless header.
Also ditching the stock overpipe for a Perrin 2.5 overpipe port matched inlet and 2.75 outlet.
Drive Shaft Shop aluminum driveshaft.
Flex fuel kit / e85 tune

Im sure 20whp wont be 2 difficult with these changes
Skip the TB, it's going to do nothing but waste your money. The stock TB is huge for N/A power levels, and going bigger isn't going to gain you a drop of power. It's been tested and proven a waste MANY times over.

And i already said, the stock size cant be the optimal size for drag so 215/45/17 is no good and wont fit on a 16x8 anyway.
How do you know stock size isn't ideal? Have you tested multiple sizes to prove it? Same with the TB spacer, probably not going to get you significant gains (ie bigger than the normal variation between dyno pulls).

I'm pretty sure you can get 15" wheels over the back brakes, get some nice light wheels and drag radials. You'll want to go narrower with the wheels than you would for an autox/track setup, sidewall flex is your friend for a drag launch. Take a look at what full blown has on their shop car for inspiration. You'll want to keep tire diameter smaller to help the gearing advantage, but not to the point where there sidewall is too thin.
