Care to analyze my set up?

Care to analyze my set up?
I was just curious if anyone cares to analyze my set up. I know there is more power left in it and know what I have in mind but Im not sure that would be right to do. I did not do the mods so some of the information is not 100%.
Engine:
SLP cold air kit
Granatelli mass airflow sensor smooth entry air bellows
FAST Intake-not sure if its the 78 or 90(is there anyway to tell without measuring it?) I think it has the stock TB, will change that if I figure out it is
Auto Specialties sfi balancer
Hypertech 160* thermostat
PCM tuned by Wait 4 me Performance
Hooker long tube tuned headers 3” Y pipe
Flowmaster cat back exhaust rear 02 simulators
GM Hot Cam
MSD Plug Wires
Drive train:
Centerforce Billet sfi flywheel Pressure plate
Ram adj. clutch
Moser eng.12 bolt rear end 4.11 gears
Eaton posi 33 spl. Axles c-clip elim. Kit1350 series u joint Moser alum. Girdle cover
It has some suspension too but that will be left for another section.
I want the drivablity to be pretty much the same as it is now, Im not switching to a huge cam. It was dyno'd at 360whp and 356tq(cant remember the exact RPMs).
Im thinking about porting and polishing my stock heads or maybe just get some LS6 heads and P&P them. I dont think I will be replacing the cam unless I can keep the same driveablity and still gain some power. Muffler will probably be replaced with a Hooker Aero chamber. Also may go with a HP Tuners or EFI live for future tuning, Ive been reading a lot about tuning lately.
Other than that I cant think of anything else I am open to suggestions. BTW the car is a 98 Formula with 29k miles, due to the lower miles Im not worried about the 6 speed.

Well the numbers are not that bad with that small cam and through 12 bolt.
IMO its not wroth porting those crappy 98 heads save some money and buy PRC Heads from TEXAS SPEED great price with great power.
And you should add Cutout it will help a lot too and remove the Grantelli MAF everyone I know that had them had crappy result buy SLP 85MM maf.
other than that nice setup.

so you have a cammed 6 spd with a fast intake and trapped 112? my bolt-on a4 car went 111 at 3,600lbs. there is definately power hidden somewhere. i'd get that setup straightened out before you throw more money at it. needs a good tune or something...heads are heads after portwork, no need to "ditch" the 98s.
food for thought: the vehicle mentioned in my sig went 109 with only a lid and flowmaster muffler. full weight on street tires, etc. your car should be faster.

FreeMods. Lose some weight in that thing before you hit the track again.
Other than that, if you want to keep the drivability in that car, dont mess with the internals. (GM Hotcam doesen't amount to much, but it is very driveable.)
(BTW, you have a 76mm FAST intake. Stock TB's dont bolt on to 90MM FAST's)

Im not going much bigger with the cam, if I do it will be a 22x on about a 550 lift. The Hot Cam is not difficult to drive at all but I can tell its different than stock and wouldnt want a 23x in there.
Keep in mind this was my first ever time to the track in something faster than 17 seconds.
Here pretty soon I will probably be getting some type of tuning software, to work on the tune and a new Ported TB since I guess I have the 78 FAST. Heads may be next Fall.
