i'd say upgrade those heads and get some 30 lb's in there. also are you going to be boosted? if so then i'd say get some internals, perhaps 347.

maybe some suspension work before you get any more serious about gettin power. Subframes and some upper/lower control arms are a must even if you are running lower hp amounts just because you don't want to tweak the frame any.

Lose some weight! It's not just about how much horsepower you have.

Skip the tune right now and throw on a Vortech supercharger for $1800 New(You can find used for cheaper too). Then go get a tune. You will need larger injectors: 30lb injectors with an FMU, or 42lb injectors with no FMU.

If you want more power get a vortech and don't look back.

But you can't over look the suspension like 90% of people do. The power is no good if you can't use it to its potential.
