Question 88 rx7 convertible upgrades??

i have an 88 convertible. i wanna make it faster. any suggestions? supposedly it is the slowest rx7 out there, since the body is so heavy. but i know i can still make it faster than what it is. i already have racing beat header and hks hyper exhaust and air intake in it, also a fluidyne radiator. what else can i do? i want to get rid of the fanclutch and replace it with an elcetric. is that a good idea and if so, what electric fan should i buy?

actually the 90-91 auto tranny Convertible is the slowest and heaviest.

And replacing the stock fan is a waste of money unless the stock fan clutch is bad.
