You need a better cam for starters. It would be easier to change the cam than to try to up the compression. Get rid of the shorties too. What year car and what trans?

I have that tfs stage one cam in my 5.3 truck and its still too small imo so if I were you I'd move up to the 224-228 cam so you still have good drivability but you'll make a lot more power!

Shorties look just about the same as LTs from the engine bay. And shorties with no cats is just as illegal as LTs. Heck, LTs with cats is safer from the smog police than what your current setup is.

What I'm trying to say is that you're already very illegal in what you're running. Might as well get the most power out of that setup. Right now you have the worst of both worlds: highly illegal and highly inefficient.
