I would swap #3 and #4. Brake ducts would help even stock sized brakes tremendously.
And Gary's "thermal managment" is making sure your car can handle the added heat of long sessions. Drag cars don't see the extended time on course that track cars see... you might not have any overheating issues on the street or at the strip, but you get out on course on a hot day and you end up fighting heat all day because the FMIC isn't letting the radiator get enough cool air. If your not getting proper air flow through the engine bay, you can end up heat soaking everything and end up running perpetually hot.
