Default Getting the suspension now how do I make some power?

After searching out some Suspension help I am now in need of a little direction when it comes to performance.

I currently have 373 gears, RAI w/ K&N filter, a short throw shifter, and it is sniper tuned.

After doing a lot of searching and reading in different magazines and such it seems that most would be suggesting TB and Plenum, Pulleys, Cams, Aftermarket intake, maybe new heads or just s/c.

My questions for all of you are:
Why get a TB and plenum? It does not seem to have much of an effect (numbers wise)
Can I port my current heads or would it just be better to buy something like Patriot Stage II heads?
Basically if any of you were in my shoes which would be the best route to go?

BTW I do not want to do the nitrous route (I know its cheap and powerful, but it may come later).

Thanks!

If you have the money to go s/c, that would be your quickest way to get where you want to be. Heads & cams are nice, but your car will be down longer than it would to install the s/c. TB & Plenum won't come close to duplicating the power improvements of the H&C's or S/C.
