RE: looking for more power! heres my specs.
Very nice setup you got there. Give us some shots of the engine bay! 
But to get to your question... without forced induction or nitrous, there's not much you can do that won't take away from previous purchases. For example, ditching the Trick Flow heads for a nice set of AFR heads. That would be a nice increase but it involves you losing the heads you paid for. Same thing with teh camshaft... swapping it out with a custom grind.
Something you can do... you can look into ditching th 1.6 RRs and getting 1.7s. That will help a little. And even that won't be a huge gain. I didn't see any mention of having it tuned. That always helps. You've bolted on pretty much everything you can at this point. Like i said before, if you want a big jump in numbers it's going to be pricey from here on. You could always stroke it out to a 347. Of you could increase the compression and run some higher octane fuel.
Why do you want to avoid a supercharger?

RE: looking for more power! heres my specs.
my phone is not worth a crap for pics sorry bout the quality.
the main reason i want to stay away from forced induction is because i swore that
i was going to stay all motor.plus shes my dd.i have dumped alot into this car since
april 2nd when i dropped my front main bearing in the stock 302.dont get me wrong shes got awesome power,but as with anything u jus get use to it and want more.ive sprayed it a couple of times but i dont want to damage it.O and the tune i have done myself. she runs best 0.80v tps 14 degress of timing and 40 psi at the rail on 24lb injectors running 3 gallons of 110 to a full tank of 93

LoL. I know what you mean about "getting used to it." I have the same problem. Last I checked I was pushing 320hp to the wheels without nitrous, 430 with it. And I've made several additions since then. After awhile, it feels slow!

I'm building my 5.0 up hopefully to be a 10 second car (on nitrous)and i'm hoping that doesn't get old!
