Not exactly sure what you're talking about, but I would do all of it so you can get those huge gains man. One thing is for sure though, 351rwhp is touching bolt on territory, so I don't think your cam is camming. Something is wrong and you need to go to a different tuner if this is seriously not just a troll post?...

What type of dyno was this on? if it was a Mustang dyno, then this is close to 400whp on a dynojet.

Upgrade pump to a 340 lph and try again? Your injectors are good to ~400whp before they start to drop off.

Do not just change the thickness of your head gasket all *****-nilly. Raising compression is a good idea, yes. But you need to use the thickness of your head gasket to establish proper quench, which should be around ~.035" and will help with detonation.

To raise compression, you should have your heads shaved, thusly making your combustion chamber smaller. That is the best way to raise compression without getting new pistons. Getting new pistons is the best and most correct way to raise compression, because it does not sacrifice the deck/clamping surface of the heads. But without opening up your shortblock, decking the heads is the quickest and most effective way to raise compression. Just be careful with how much you deck the heads since you have installed a cam larger in duration and lift, so watch your piston to valve clearance.

Get your fuel system figured out and see if you can push it out to 7000rpms.

Do you have a dyno sheet? Maybe bad gas causing detonation etc?

24# injectors are probably too small. I have a stock ls6 with a 224 cam and I'm at 94% duty cycle with stock ls6 28# injectors.
