Default What Bolt on's am I missing?

I'm thinking I'm holding my car back a few horsepower without getting all the bolt ons. What am I missing?

Here's all of my Mods

Lid
Pulleys
LS6 intake (Stock)
TCI 3500 Converter, Tranny Cooler, Deep Pan
TTS Headers w/ Cats
SLP Loudmouth
3.23 gears
Ported Heads 2.02/1.57 valves
C2 cam
LS1EDIT

I've made a small list of what I plan to do to it next, what do you guys think?

Ported TB
LSX Intake
Electric Waterpump
Yella Terra Rockers
More Tuning

Am I missing anything from that list? How much do you think I could gain from those mods?

In addition I think I'm going to go to a 4400 Yank and 3.73 gears, hoping to get a few more tenths of my 1/4 mile time

You didn't list them, so how about suspension and tire mods? They will get you up to .5 secs.

Gutted Cats, Cutout, FTRA, Gears (better yet REAR END with gears, 160 Tstat, If you are sitting on street tires Then you know the only thing you need to get .5 off is RUBBERS. You should include your sig.... Good luck.
