I'd say the next step is to take a deep breath. Don't spend a dime or any time potentially chasing your tail without....

a benchmark.

At least one.

Your tracks, your car with the same or similar modifications and set up. Often this is possible via the PCA. If you do AX or track driving and can have an instructor that can act as a benchmark with his/her car, great. Or an instructor that has experience with your car and its mods and set up.

It may be getting harder to do nowadays with the air-cooled cars being so old, but it is achievable.

Also try to reference old materials like tech articles from issues from Excellence and Pano where they discuss and describe identical or similar recipes.

Be wary of advice from vendors that may make and sell worthwhile products but do not have a lot of experience with DE and/or racing. The old gang at SRP and folks like Cary Eisenlohr and Karl Poetl have been there and done that. However some popular vendors don't have any deep knowledge or experience with DE and/or racing.

To me, spending money and time to make more changes may not be the best course. Knowing what you have compared to some benchmark may be most gratifying.

I have been at this DE/racing Porsche thing for over 25 years and I have chased my own tail a time or two. No fun.

Places like these forums can be great, but in my experience nothing beats an appropriate benchmark.

Agreed and a logical approach!
