i agree that a tuner would be a good choice , also an intake manifold

you wont see a lot of gains from an intake other than a new pi, the pi flows almost as good as the aftermarket metal ones

and they are cheaper. in my opinion thanks to another MM.com member its the best bang for your buck. spending 200 for a PI for 4- 5 hp is a much bettter deal than spending 700 - 1000 on a bullitt 51 manifold or something else to gain 10 hp.

I would say a dyno tune. Headers will get you some decent gains but can be pricy depending on which ones you go with. Could probably pick up some Macs off egay pretty reasonalby.

id wait on the dyno until you get a little more there to worry about. the dyno might help you but will be pricey for what you are looking at a good hand tuner like a diablo or evan the sniper that ive heard alot of people are liking because you can download and tweak different tunes right on your pc and then run them for no extra charge.
