Default A little help needed, handling or power?

As above this year my cars going back on track after beening sat up for a year but im abit stuck on what to do, I want it ready by april but by then I can only either make the car handle abit better or add little bit more power but after this im going to be doing more mods anyway.

As it stands on power its a 1.7 zetec-se with 4-2-1 cat bk and cone so 125bhp lol but handling wise ive done...
Spax shocks and 60mm strings
polybush all round
spacers front and rear
strut braces alround
300mm st170 setup with ds2500 pads and black Diamond discs and upgraded rear drums
R888 tyres

so power wise between now and april im only looking at an extra 20bhp at best with cams ect or I was thinking about frp gearbox with lsd and a few more bits and bobs with the suspension, The tracks ill be on in april and march are llandow and Castle comb but I haven't tested the car with 90% of those mods so anit got a clue which I should go for?

I know llandow is cornering speed would help best so the lsd would come in real handy but not sure about comb?

so which should I go for? Power or handling with those two tracks in mind?

Thanks and sorry about the long write up lol,
