It's a slippery slope going from a streetcar towards the direction of a track car trying to improve an already competent car. In general, I try to make car improvements in the order of safety, reliability then speed. And speed / fun comes from skill, braking, handling, then horsepower in that order. Some may have a different order, but I'd argue skill needs to be high on the list. I see a lot of lack of skill YouTube fail videos.

If the front end feels "a little on edge" and you haven't installed a bump steer kit, for sure do that next.

Of your short list above, an LSD might be a worthwhile improvement if you're feel one wheel spinning. I just did it. It wasn't as scary of a job as I thought it would be. DSR-3 has one for sale.

A day or two at some sort of performance driving school would most likely do more than hardware improvements. A few lessons and some practice on throttle steering and threshold braking will serve anyone far better than more horsepower. A friend tells me throttle steering around a 270 freeway off ramp can be a lot of fun. Without ABS and adjustable brake bias, knowing how to adjust the bias and having skill (through practice) in threshold braking is a safety necessity. I'd put learning to drive the car you have in the "safety" category.

Spend some money on a helmet and an autocross event before chasing horsepower.
