Default suggestions on my next mod please

i just got through with my cam install and dyno tuning. It made 403hp and 379 torque. I have a lid with a stock mass air and a stock ported throttle body,.....underdrive pulley.......headers.....i am looking for another mod to give me another 20 or30 RWHP. should i go with a FAST intake and a 85 mm mass air. Don't know what to do........maybe I will just save up for heads. Give me some suggestions please.

if you have a '98-'00 car, LS6 or fast intake.

if you have an '01-'02 car, i think at this point you gotta go for a set of heads. patriot i believe is offering 243 castings for like $389! that's a crazy good deal and with your full bolt-ons and a cam, you can see 20-30 hp out of them i bet (with a tune of course ). i can't see much better for the $$!

i don't see the need to ditch an LS6 intake unless you're putting down over 450rwhp if you already have one.

+1... LS6 intake if you dont already have, or the 243 castings. Funny thing is, if you already DO have the LS6 intake on your car, the 243 castings patriot is selling are just a little more than MOST used LS6 intakes. Good luck, what cam?
