Default Next Logical Upgrade????

Looking at upgrading engine agian, trying not to break the bank though. Already have the full exaust system to get the air out and the supercharger to get the air in. Fuel pump upgraded with the charger system, stock injectors. Would it be better to get a larger throtle body at this time, if so what size? OR Would an upper and lower intake be better. Trying to do this is steps, getting it all would be ideal, but I havent hit the lottery yet. Any other suggestions would be great.
thanks
mat

heads cam and intake but going to wild in this area with a s/c already can push stock block over limits..personally I'd upgrade fuel system a little more with larger injectors then up the boost

Can I just get larger injectors and bolt them in without any other changes?? How do I up the boost?? Like I have said before this is all new to me, car and supercharger system.

to up the boost, you have to get a smaller blower pulley. i'd go with bigger TB, bigger MAF, and new upper/lower intake with new injectors

you'll need to have the maf recalibrated for the injectors you purchase ...have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and put a 255 lph pump in if you don't already have one and smaller pulley for added boost

The next LOGICAL upgrade would be a dart block.

Methanol kit. More octane, more power per psi, less heat and less cylinder pressures.

Can you have your mass air flow recalibrated and not replaced with larger injectors. If so how and by who? My car is not a daily driver, most of the time it is in the garage, just like to drive it on nice days. I already have the fuel pump that came with the Vortec kit, not sure of the rating on it, T-Rex is the brand. Would I gain anything by starting with a Throtle body upgrade. If money grew on trees I would buy everything but the car purchase is hurting the bank book alittle bit right now. Just looking in the 500 buck range.. Suspension and gears already upgraded Cheetha94607.
