I'm still leaving a lot on the table is my impression as @ NoHaveMSG runs about 10 seconds faster then me with a ~200 tw tire and just suspension mods and a header at the same track. I've bought a new set of 240 tw(AdvanSport 105v) for next season. Note my car is supercharged about 275 whp. One thing is for sure I need to ride along a few times with @ NoHaveMSG this year.

That's all great! It sounds like you've been going about this in the right way. Def encourage ride alongs with more experienced drivers and any sort of quality instruction you can get.
Swaybars aren't the devil that some make them out to be, they're just a piece of the puzzle. I would suggest developing a plan before throwing bigger bars on a car though.
Switching to the stickier tires (which it sounds like you're ready for) will make you want more roll resistance and require some tweaks to your alignment. Adding a larger front swaybar will make you faster, but may not be the change you want on it's own. A quality damper that isn't worn out would be a bigger priority. Whether that means a step up to good coilovers or replacing OEMs with fresh OEMs or Bilstein B6 or Koni Yellow is up to you. There will be a time to step up to coilovers eventually and that's usually dictated by tire choice and experience.
