One thing you could do with the headers is move to a 4 or 4.5 inch collect and lengthen it. See how that works. I'm guessing yours are removable so that would be a very easy thing to test.
Fwiw, I ran 2 1/8 to 2 1/4 4" collector on my 1050hp 511ci.
I just want all I can get & not pull the motor out every 4 or so passes. Apples to apples dads dyno #s were with his two 1050s so I was happy to get as close as I did. His motor made peak trq @ 5800 & mine @ 6700. Peak hp for him was around 7600 & for me over 8000 each piull. As far as shift points once it clears up it’s pulls strong through both shifts. 2.24 lenco 4.56 rear it leaves hard.
