I say get the M1 Intake manifold and a new throttlebody, the compensate with a full exhaust Like a catback, or trueduals with headers,

It all depends on how much cash you have to throw around.

New heads would go great with the cam. but get the M1 first.

Thats just my two cents

you want more hp? floor it. sorry about that. i couldnt let that one go by without being a smart @$$.

why is a guy with the mods that you have be asking suggestions for more hp? with those mods, you should know what you need for additional hp. anyway, stumpy pretty much hit it on the head. get that air/fuel charge in and out quickly. the m1 and headers are a good start.

Forced air induction.

Save the money and put on a blower of some sort. Hard to get more HP for the money spent,...

Doesn't "S/c #10" mean supercharged with ten pounds of boost? I guess it's time to add nitrous.

thanks for all the replies, i think i'll get the m1 intake, my truck already has a set of headers on it but i need to go the rest of the way back with a good cat-back what would you suggest????I blew a head gasket so i'll haft to fix that before i go any farther, i think i'll drop the boost back down to 5# i'm want around 400hp or as deep as my pockets will go!!!!

I'd Say the Magnaflow dual exhaust its not true duals but its still a really good system, but i do see alot of guys with the spintech trueduals, which come anyway you want it but a bit costly.

Those would be my choices.

Hey you're not making much sense.

You WANT more HP but you're also going to drop your blower down from 10 lbs to 5 LBS????

That isn't going to help your cause!
Head gaskets are easy fixes. If you're going to play, you know you're going to pay.

I'd be looking for ways to add MORE boost. intercooler and a smaller pulley on that blower may be order. And make sure you got the fuel to support the boost, etc.

My bad,... I didn't recognize the acronym: "S/c#10" as for a blower, but now understand.

Intake (M1 great over 3,000rpm), exhaust (long tube), throttle body smoothing, port matching of heads (easy with the heads off to replace the gasket). If you're not pulling air from in front of the front wheel with a 4"-5" tube, you might want to consider doing so-My KenneBell is set up that way (per manufacturer) to keep the air charge as cool as possible.

Extra job to pay speeding tickets and insurance.

Windex to clean bugs from teeth after the head-out-the-window grins.
