Default looking for more power

hey guys. i installed prc 5.3 heads and a torquer v3 cam with kooks headers last winter on my 99 t/a. with the stock descreened maf, p&p stock tb, and mildly ported bbk intake, it put down 440 rwhp and 407 rwtq through a 6 speed and moser 9" with 390's. im lookin to get more out of the setup but dont want to spend over a grand on a fast setup. i was thinking bigger maf and tb. is it worth the time and what kind of gains could i expect? or is there a better way to go? thanks for your input guys.

The larger z06 85mm or a ls2 90mm would give you more flow and a larger tb might help a little but you.still restricted br the intake. Try to find a used fast 90 or 92 setup and you get a lot more with that cam and those heads and a larger maf. Or I haven't tried on but the prices seem ok for the professional products intake and tb combo and the make a 85 and 96mm setup. Maybe someone can tell you if there good or not fro exp. I was going to try one since I added the ms3 cam and was going to see if I upper to a z06 maf and 85 mm tb/ intake combo. The setup is like $600 for the tb amd intake.

ive seen some threads where its been dyno proven that the fast 90 setup is only worth about 10 hp over the bbk. maybe i should just change it all if im goin to play around again.

Ported fast, TB, 85mm MAF, fast toys 98mm lid. You will pick up decent power there.
