What mod should I do next??

Here's what I've done to so far:
-LPE216 Cam
-WP S/R Torquer Heads
-TES Headers w/full exhaust (2 3/4")
-K&N Filters
-AFPR @52psi

What would you guys recommend I should do next? Should I swap out my 2.73 for 3.43? or should I work on the intake (stock right now)?

Off the subject I don't have any access to a dyno shop or even a track where I live, so what are you estimates in hp/torque and/or what times can i expect from these mods?

I really think that you are running a little rich for that car. I see you have heads and cam but 52 is really high for a 305. You could get a nice torque converter, do suspension mods like panhard rod, LCA, SFC, STB, good shocks and struts, get a new chip either by learning how to do it or buying one. Port the intake like mad which is free and if you dont like that get the SLP siamese runners, good gears would be nice they would get you moving quicker. The list goes on and on.

if you want more power go to a carb setup =). sorry. I would go for a new intake manifold. You got new heads and a cam, but you're still running the stock intake. Your engine needs to breathe, so go with an intake.
