if you have all bolt ons, then the next thing is probably forging the internals if you haven't already, then you can up the boost, if you have already done that, then blower cams

How much boost are you running? Are you intercooled? Current mods?

i have a magnaflow x pipe, and magnaflow cats. i don't have an intercooler, and i believe its like 6 pounds of boost. i chose not to have a boost gauge but im pretty sure thats what the number is. i havent forged any intervals or anything like that. i know this may sound pretty dumb but is there a posting already or maybe i can get a lesson on what that entitles? cause if i can make this engine stronger so i can raise the boost and all that good stuff that would be great. i was told by the mechanic that did the tune with the s/c that this 4.6 is pretty much topped out and if i pushed any more i will be risking a blown block. i have been saving some money so i really want to do something nice to this engine...... sorry i know i can't remember everything i have done, but i have also done all i can with the suspension to try to keep the power to the ground. thanks for the help guys........

Find out and let me know, please!

What have you done with brakes, after all this increase in HP/T?
What kind of tires do you run?
Are you running OEM dampers with your lowering springs?
Have you installed a set of FLSFC's?

intercooler, with a pulley drop, and the supporting stuff could be a good idea
