You really just need to get a powerpipe and start making 9-10 PSI, and get that tune redone. The stock shortblock is good to 440~ WHP, so 420 or so is pretty safe. Hell, I am running 415~ with no intercooler.
I think you will have a hard time making 415-420 though on a accurate dynojet. I would look into some good blower cams or maybe the shortblock. my next major upgrade will be a VT shortblock and some custom blower cams from MPH.
The only problem with the short block is the price, and that you have to start upgrading other things to handle the power (fuel pump/injectors, maybe BOV, MAF) and that can start to get pretty expensive.

I think I'm pretty much done messing with the engine. I'm thinking more cosmetic for me. I love the power sure, but I'm more into shows than track. If I wanted higher numbers I'd have the guy who tuned the car, re-tune it for me. In fact I talked to him today and he agreed if I wanted it done, he'd do a couple pulls and re-tune it to where I wanted it at no cost to me.
We'll see.

hmm, all i can think of that u might consider is a grill delete and an aftermarket hood. Carbon fiber wouldnt look to good i think, so maybe a Cowl? I dunno, just a suggestion. I dont think smoked/blacked out lights would work for u either. Your at the point where u just need to sit back and enjoy lol.
EDIT: Maybe window tint, but i understand ur whole clear/chrome color coordination.

Since you say ur done with the engine. Get a banging sounud system (glassed) or a remote air ride system. Either one should set u arround 2700. well sound system will go over if you get a proper one. JL's the way to go.

ooo good call on the big brake kit and the audio. I think the Brembo Big Brake Kit is one of the sexiest things that anybody can do to any car. I Know u have Cobra brakes, but the Brembos are just sexy. Or, get a couple W 7's and blow your brains out... that is unless u want to actually be able to hear yourself think, not to mention ur exhaust/ SC whine.

Not big on the stereo's anymore. I used to be. As far as not getting out of it what I put in it, there's always someone out there willing to pay good money for it. Maybe not the full amount, I understand that, but as far as that goes, this thing isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I've put too many hours, blood, sweat, cursing, lol into it.
As far as the remote air ride. That's already ordered and should be here this week. And yes it's remote. ppoooosshhh Is that the sound of the air bags deflating? ppppoooosssshhhhh Come on everyone, do the sound, you know you wanna, ppppoooooossshhhh, lol
