Default New to forum have a couple ?'s

Hi,
I just joined this forum and i wanted to know your guys opinions on what i should do next to my car i just recently bought a 2000 paxton supercharged gt. It has upgraded fuel management system such as pump, maf, rails, injectors etc sorry if i screw any of these names up or anything im kind of new to the auto world. Anyways im running 8lbs of boost right now and i have a C & L plenum and accufab 70mm throttle body, magnaflow catted x pipe, flowmaster catback, 4:10 gears, custom superchips tune, the supercharger does come with the paxton intercooler as well and the model is a novi 2000. It was dynoed at 355rwhp and 360lbs of torque i was just wondering what i should do next to maybe get me around 450rwhp? Long tube headers, u/d pulleys, cams, heads, i don;t know so i figured i would ask the experts.

I forgot to say that it is an automatic and it has a shift kit installed in and every modification done to the car was done in 2008 and it has been babied the whole time, at the track it ran a 12.3 in street tires and at 6 psi.

pretty sick time for only 6lbs....any suspension mods? anyway pretty sure u cant use underdrive pulleys with a supercharger. a power pipe would add some power, headers, or u could up the boost to 10lbs

do you have a trans cooler ?? if not , I would get that first . as far as hp mods , you will need everything you stated to get you above 400hp . u/d pullies wont work w/ supercharger . if you get heads the boost will drop a little so you will have to get a smaller s/c pulley to bring boost back up .

yea for the boost to be uppered i would just have to do a quick pulley change right? And im pretty sure i don;t have a transcooler how much would one of those run in terms of price?
