Heads. They're expensive, so if you're budget minded, which we all are, I'd say MAF and throttle body.

larger MAF would make a difference. TB won't matter till you get a better intake and heads.

I did a 5 psi supercharger, a 73 MM Mass Air Filter, and an now doing a Trick Flow upper and lower intake. Do you think I should do a throttle body now? or wait, do the injectors first and tackle this later?

Well, you should really do both. I would get a bigger TB... before/after injectors.

Good point and that's why I'm actually doing the manifolds now. They have to come off to do the lower manifold gasket, aso I'm biting the bullet and have a Trick Flow unit on the way.
