Question Need advice on what parts to get next....

Please look into my sig and see what mods should I do next, that's necessary to get around 400 rwhp.
I will be getting better flowing exhaust, TSP True Duals with ST- this should help and I'll probably need Intake manifold and Throttle body but what else? is H/C package the only way????
Also, be honest and let me know if my hp numbers are accurate to the mods I've done, because they seem a little low to me!???!????
Thanks a lot for all your help !

Those #'s dont look too bad plus you have a 12 bolt. I would get a ls6 intake, and ported tb. If your planing on TD's that will help too. You will need atleast a cam to get you to/over the 400rwhp mark.You can also get a ram air for under your air lid, see link.

Yeah I've heard that I might be losing some power because of 9" and sorry my bad, the dyno results are from before 9" install, everything else was there, so how much lower could the numbers be now? Anybody else ?????

Well you can always do the giggle gas (N2O), or some other F/I system
Seems like if you want to hit 400rwhp mark N/A, a cam is almost a requirement

Get a big Cam since you have an M6 and a Fast 90 intake with a Nick Williams 90 throttlebody. The 9" will rob some power but you'll be able to put more power to the ground because of it.

Looks like the only way to get some large numbers would be H/C package. So for now I'll just leave it be as it is, just work on my exhaust, save up some $ and get me Intake, throttle body and H/C all at once!!!
Thanks for all your answers ... TTT...

just do or finish up ALL the bolt ons then go for the heads/cam setup, thats what I am doing. if u get a h/c package that will boost you up really good and god it will be ****** fast with a nice tune. i cant wait till i do my swap, it will shoot me over 415
