What Else To Get More HP/TQ???

This is what I have currently and am looking to get a few more out of my setup by adding whatever I can:

- Thunder Racing 224/224-112 lsa Cam
- Patriot Performance CNC Ported & Polished 243 Heads
- 2.02"/1.57" Ferrea 6000 series valves
- Partiot "Gold" Dual Spring Kit
- Thunder Racing Chromoly Pushrods (7.400)
- Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller Lifters
- Thunder Racing Ported LS6 Oil Pump
- XS Stainless Longtubes
- SLP LS6 Intake Manifold w/EGR
- Custom True Duals w/ Dynomax Race Bullets Dumped
- Ported & Polished Throttle Body
- GM Performance Lid
- SLP 85mm MAF
- K&N Filter
- Fernco Smooth Bellow
- TB Bypass
- FRA

I'm not going into anything internally as of now. Figured and underdrive pulley, possibly an electric waterpump may gain me some, soon to be going with larger fuel injectors and probably a 90/90 setup (staying away right now though). Pushing 430whp/419rwtq tuned... what else can I can add on? Opinions?

youve got a pretty good setup, so yea you could go with a pulley or some other mods that would take the pull off your engine....those are usually left for later mods anyways...how do you like those headers?

I agree. You have great numbers (esp. TQ.) with your present combo. Should have done the pulley when you did H/C, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. The FAST should give you decent gains, but your smallish cam doesn't really need it. I'll bet that car pulls real hard. Bang for buck, nitrous is your best next thing, if you wanna go in that direction.
