Default help!

Mods are:

LS6 Intake
Mac mids with ORY
Cutout
SLP lid with smooth bellow and K/N

Made 352 HP and 357 TQ with a 6 spd
I have a custom grind cam going in this weekend. My question is would there be anything else i can do besides headwork or tuning to get more power? Im working with a strict budget so no SC or nitrous. Thanks.

Port the TB and mass air ends before tuning.

DO NOT PORT THE MAF ENDS! You are destroying the calibration of a calibrated instrument. You will cause more problems and give your tuner a huge pain in his/her ***.

Porting your TB is perfectly fine.

Port or just buy a bigger TB...which is more effective?

Port. It is easy to find someone to do a decent port job on the stock TB. The aftermarket ones IMO are overpriced and unnecessary for your purposes.
