Best Mods for Top End

Hey guys I am wanting some intellegent input on the best top end mods. At the track I run just fine out of the hole, but right around the 1/8th I start to fall flat.

The best mods I've heard thus far for top end are: 52mm TB (which I have also heard I dont need until I am in the 350whp range, a good dyno tune, and valvetrain (ie. 1.6 rrs, springs, etc) what are you guys using to help out your top end power?

If you really want to gain good top end power, you need to start looking into a different cam, better flowing heads, and even some intake manifold work. Bolt-ons will only get you so far.
