I see a TB, but not a freer flowing CAI system.

You've taken care of the exhaust and tune, and a larger TB, but I don't see anything allowing more atmosphere into the motor. Remember, a motor is an air pump. The more efficient it can bring air in and push it out, the more power and efficiency.

Wait....no tune? Without a tune, your engine can't capitalize on the breathing improvements. Looks like you need a CAI and a custom tune, a tune that is made for your specific motor and mods.

Buy an underdrive pulley and some charge motion delete plates and you'll go from 315 hp to about 320-330hp and find yourself a good tuner who isn't garbage and you may be able to squeeze out a couple more hp. Also porting your heads would help out too!
