Default What next?

Ok...So I have the air intake, Kooks headers, Cam, and tune. Today the car is getting a Fast 90mm, LS2 90mm and a new clutch. Next month I am getting new heads. What else should I do..besides spray. I want this thing to have 500rwhp by feb. I am currently at 430rwhp. Thanks!

For some more bolt-ons if you don't already have them: underdrive pulley, electric water pump, 160 thermostat(all though they might not be worth the money for the power). you might gain 10 RWHP with those, and the heads will make a big difference, but nitrous will probably be the only way to get your goal of 500 at the wheels. i don't know how wild your cam is or how modified your heads are going to be but for a 346 that is a very healthy motor to make that much at the wheels. And hopefully you already have the rest of your exhaust done, you didn't mention it.

Thanks! I left the Ti exhaust on. I just hear so many good things about it. I also think it sounds really good. What about an exhaust cutout for the track? The cam is pretty good..it added 40rwhp. I went from 390 to 430 with it.

You could have your FAST ported if it's not already done. Same with the heads you will be getting soon, get them ported. Already said, pulley, electric water pump, free mods. If you just want a dyno graph to read 500 maybe you can get a different wheel/tire combo to help. To actually make you faster/quicker, you could get some gears.
