Default What more can I do for power?

I currently have 368/369 power wise. Stock I dynoed 279RWHP and 298 RWTQ. Here are my mods to date. This is a 2000 TA M6.

Hooker LT headers, 2.5" off road y, B&B triflo, TR 224 112 cam, ported TB, FRA, DirectFlo lid and MMS custom tuning.

Heads are out of the question for now, and no bottle or forced induction. I'd like to get to the 385/385 mark or so.

I can't remember if the 2000's had the LS6 intake manifold or not, if not 1 of those. ASP Pulley, bigger MAF.

I imagine a LS6 intake and a pulley would get you there.

"you would probably see about 10+ or minus a couple (probably plus) from the cutout alone, around 8 for the pulley and the LS6 intake really varies from around 8 to as much as 20 altough I did see one member with more than 20 but I dont think that is too possible, 8-15 is more reasonable since you have headers/cam already.

You might want to look into your tuning again too.

Yes, the 2001 and newer got the LS6 manifold, and the 2002 get the LS6 block also. Im going to stay away from the pullies for now. I ordered the manifold and cutout, and also a different ported TB. We'll see how that goes. Thanks
