I'm in the "upgrade everything else" camp, because I've driven Oscar's car at full-whack (I think he still has the white knuckles to prove it) and while it was tight, more polish is always possible.
Doing the diff can't be THAT hard if you're already going to have everything down to drop in the Hyper Sngle. My biggest regret this year was buying / installing my Spec Stage 3 6-puck and not having the extra for the LSD.
I'd also second the valvetrain upgrade and work on lightening your overall weight where possible (wheels as mentioned, body panels, removing insulation and sound deadener from inside panels, trunk, etc) - if you don't have the time to do forged internals to take more torque, work on making the car work less at moving. I've had fiberglass recommended to me over CF hood unless it's turning into a trailer queen as fiberglass is far easier to fix in case of breaks, chipping, etc. Maybe strip the rear seats and throw in lightweight rear buckets?
