Still looking for more power

The specs on my car are now:
350 sbc low compression pistons
stock qjet carb rebuilt
vortec 64cc heads mild port and polish professional valve grind and springs and retainers to match cam
comp xe262h cam
1.52 ratio full roller rockers
edelbrock performer intake
hedman torque step headers
dynomax alumnized cat back 2.5 inch dia
cat deleted
3.23 ratio BW rearend
plenty of suspension upgrades not relevant to this thread

I just did the cam/heads upgrade and got it tuned in thanks to some guys on this board. It made a pretty big difference especially in the 2000 and up rpm range. I'm still looking for something more though. I've been kicking around the idea of supercharge or NO2 but i want some input from you guys where i can make some more easy HP. I still have the single snorkle intake, so that will obviously have to go. ANY IDEAS?

Re: Still looking for more power
