Getting rid of that hideous wing and body kit should help, maybe not in the hp department but in the not looking like a ghetto ricer department.

You went with MTI heads...there is your problem. With my PRC 5.3 heads and a smaller cam I made 55WHP more than you...without a FAST...

OP at this point you might not gain to much more switching cams, since your heads are decked if you go to a bigger cam you might run into piston to valve clearance issues, i hate to say it but i would may be try and sell those MTI's and get prc 215 or afr 215 or any other comparable heads

First, get larger injectors in there and better isolate the air filter(at least below and behind) from engine heat. Then focus on getting the best heads possible in it. I'd also consider contact EPS or Tick about a custom cam.

That torque curve is anemic at best. I think this car needs some torquemax help.... that and a set of tea tfs 215s and you're in business.
