Default these new parts worth it?

Hey guys new here, Not to the car scene though. I recently purchased a 99 Z28

with a 408 with trick flow gen x 215 heads, comp cam .623 .623 duration @50 247int. 251exh lsa 112, qtp 1 3/4 lt, 92 mm nick williams tb

fast 92 mm ported intake, strange 9 inch with 4.30 gears, stage 2 tick t56. dynoed @ 487hp 481tq.

my question is would a fast 104 mm lid and ram air kit along with a tsp 100mm

maf and some tsp 1 7/8 headers add much more power than what I have or is

it a waste of $1500? thanks guys

I think your leaving a lot of power on the table right now. I would try to sell your fast 92 and tb, and your headers. Get a ported 102 with a 104 lid and 1 7/8's headers. I plan on getting mine speed density tuned to take out the maf.
