Looking at what u posted for what u have in parts I dunno man I'd say ur well on ur way...Can u tune and test at this point? I know you should DEFINITELY invest in some Cams, in fact if u were working with a built head, i'd say ur there already after a good tune..

Pull in for a Tune..see where u are now and from there, if u aren't, Go for some hotter cams.

its when you try different length intakes, and see which one makes the most power for your car.
